ISRAELI ADVANCED URBAN WARFARE  &

CLOSE QUARTER BATTLE 

(CQB)  COURSE

Israeli  Anti-Terrorism Training School

Duration:  3 days

Location:  Las Vegas, Nevada

Course Summary:  How many more soldiers must continue to die as the first and second members of an entry team by getting shot or activating a booby trap or IED?  Currently, most CQB and urban warfare training is done by companies that teach the same unsafe method of entry.  During training, military and Special Forces trainees thank us for finally being able to learn something new and effective and not the same method that could teach just as easily teach themselves.  To date, we have trained several military Special Forces groups currently working in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and other parts of the world.  These groups have fully adopted the Israeli CQB and Urban Warfare methodology that we have instructed them. 

Former trainee:  The following is a comment from a solider that we trained in Israeli CQB, "Here's the story of what happened while I was in Iraq. .....  We were doing a raid in Kirkuk, Iraq. I was point man when I entered the first room I naturally did the technique that I learned while training at CRI instead of the way the U.S. Army taught me. Well behind the first door there was a man with a weapon and opened up on us.  But since I entered in the way CRI taught I didn't get shoot. It was the safest way to enter a room with the minimum amount of exposure. I know that This techniques saved my life and that of my squad.

And, the other story. We were on an escort mission when I noticed that there was a lack of civilians, and cars on the road. It was a scary silence like the one right before something happens. Well CRI classes on I.E.D.'s were important. I backed off the truck in front of me by 100 meters or so - as soon as I did that an I.E.D. exploded 5 to 10 feet in front of me. If I wouldn't have backed off the I.E.D. would have injured or killed me or members of my squad. Everything C.R.I. teaches can and will be used in the world to defeat terrorism worldwide. "
