Course Description

This two-day course will help prepare participants to successfully resolve a Hostage Rescue (HR) mission.  The primary focus will be the CQB principles and tactics, which serve as the foundation for both HR and High-Risk Warrant Service (HRWS).  Specifically, participants will be introduced to the FBI's approach to initial entry, actions on entry, and room clearing fundamentals utilizing a strong wall CQB philosophy.  Participants will learn how these fundamental CQB tactics are applied and adapted to an HR mission.  Additionally, participants will hear a presentation about a real-world HR mission resolved by the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT).  The presentation will include discussions about intelligence gathering, mission planning, command and control, integration with local tactical elements, and lessons learned.  The course will be taught by FBI SWAT and HRT instructors from the Denver Division and National Tactical Training Unit (NTTU) based out of Quantico, Virginia.
