In a world where relative peace has existed, that peace is now being replaced by pockets of rapidly escalating violence and chaos. Are you prepared for the chaos when it comes to the place you call home?
The Gas Mask Operations Course by Iron Forge Consulting Group is a step into the fundamentals of using and fighting while wearing Personal Protective Equipment that protects the wearer from respiratory and visually impairing agents and chemicals.
Throughout the course the student will learn the essentials of using personal protective equipment/gas mask, proper donning and doffing of PPE, proper PPE clearance procedures, signs/symptoms and treatments of exposure to riot control agents, moving & communicating with others while wearing PPE, rifle utilization while wearing PPE, pistol utilization while wearing PPE. This course culminates into a final exercise where the students will put what they’ve learned to the test while under duress.
*Anyone with preexisting respiratory conditions should consult a physician prior to attending this course due to the use of riot control agents and exposure of said agents during the course.
