Disruptive Environment, or D3, is designed as an advanced applications course to accelerate skill-set development for experienced shooters. The curriculum is relevant to anyone from the responsible armed citizen, to active MIL and LEO. Shooting performance can be subdivided into fundamentals, skill-sets, and tactics. For reference, our D5 curriculum focuses on the development of a solid foundation in fundamentals and human factors, where the D3 curriculum moves more into the development of next level skill-sets in low-light/no light, vehicles/cover considerations, home/business defense, and urban vs rural environments. This multiday, advanced applications format, integrates light/illumination techniques (both handheld and weapon mounted), movement, communication, and shooting, into decisive actions. The course includes lectures, demonstrations, deliberate practice models, and multiple exercises where students will be challenged to combine techniques that work for them into solutions that can potentially save lives.

Core topics covered for all weapon systems:

• Haley Strategic Train approach to learning
• Why “science” and how to create a model for excellence
• How deliberate practice accelerates learning
• How critical stress (body alarm response) affects visual acuity and efficiency
• Stress management before, during and after
• Baseline assessment (Qualification)
• Supplemental instruction relative to baseline results
• Biomechanics and maximizing the efficiency of the draw
• Position work & biomechanical considerations in all shooting positions

Night Observation Devices (NODs) are game changers and a significant investment, yet without proper training, the tool is far less effective. Our D3 NODs program establishes a fundamental understanding of night vision application, capabilities, and limitations and how those factors impact shooting performance. Every aspect of fundamental weapons manipulation and employment will be executed and explored under night vision in this foundational course curriculum tailored for beginner to intermediate NODs users.

• NODS foundations (advantages, disadvantages and limitations)
• Biomechanics (physiology and kinesiology in shooting performance)
• NODS human eye performance (target acquisition and visual target accommodation)
• Laser Aiming Module (passive/converging zero and passive/active aiming)
• Weapon manipulations (speed reloads, practical reloads and malfunction clearing)
• Adaptive shooting positions (reactive movement)
• Mobility (dynamic movements and shooting on the move)

Training course cancellation/refunds/exchanges are subject to the following Terms and Conditions:

• Training cancellations must be requested no later than 30 days from the date of the training course. There will be NO REFUNDS given if a registrant cancels or requests a refund less than 30 days before the training course start date;
• Due to the limited spaces available in each course and the travel requirements for many of our students, training courses are refunded with a 50% cancellation fee (i.e., training courses are only 50% refundable after enrollment);
• Rescheduling/Exchanging an enrolled training course to a later date may be available upon request, but remains subject to the 30-day policy stated above;
• In rare circumstances, Haley Strategic Training may need to cancel a course/event. If this occurs, individuals registered will be contacted and refunded in full;

Contact Us with your Name, Order Number, and the Training Courses you are requesting for Cancellation/Refund/Exchange to begin the process. Approved Training Course Cancellations and Refunds will be refunded to the original payment method used at the time of purchase.
