THE ISSUES OF THE C.A.R. THE C.A.R. FIREARMS SYSTEM IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC ISSUES, THAT WILL DIRECTLY EFFECT THE WAY WE TRAIN IN THE DEFENSIVE USE OF A FIREARM, IN RELATION TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT APPLICATION. WHEN IT IS GIVEN STATE WIDE PUBLICITY THROUGH L.E.S.A.T., AND IN JANUARY OF 2004, NATIONAL ATTENTION WHEN THE SYSTEM IS FEATURED IN A MAJOR LAW ENFORCEMENT MAGAZINE, THERE WILL BE SOME CONTROVERSY. THIS SYSTEM WILL, IN MANY CASES, MAKE REDUNDANT THE TRADITIONAL METHODS OF INSTRUCTION, i.e. WEAVER STANCE / ISOSCELES. THIS IN TURN MAY CAUSE MILD PANIC TO OUTRIGHT REFUSAL TO CHANGE. CERTAINLY THE “ OLD SCHOOL ” WILL BE HEARD FROM. HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE, THAT ONCE ADOPTED THE SYSTEM WILL GROW IN ACCEPTANCE DUE TO ITS ADVANTAGES IN THE “ FIELD. ” I ANTICIPATE AT LEAST SOME VERY HEALTHY DEBATE ON THE VALUES OF THE SYSTEM. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I AM VERY EXCITED AT THE PROSPECT BECAUSE IT IS NOT VERY OFTEN THAT SUCH A FANTASTIC CHANGE IN FIREARMS TRAINING IS BROUGHT OUT INTO THE ARENA SO TO SPEAK.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND THAT OF YOUR STUDENTS THE MAIN ISSUES OF THE SYSTEM ARE : IS IT TRAINER FRIENDLY - ONCE A STUDENT HAS BEEN TRAINED IN OTHER TECHNIQUES WEAPON RETENTION - CAN THEY GET OUR GUN CRISIS FOCAL POINT - EYE SIGHT ACCOMMODATION BODY ERGONOMICS - EFFECTS OF CANNIBAL STRESS ON OFFICERS IN A CRISIS BODY POSITIONS - REACTION / RECOIL / REFLEX UNDER STRESS BODY CONTROL - RECOVERY FROM PHYSICAL EXERTION WEAPON NOMENCLATURE - OPERATION OF SLIDE / WEAPON CLOSER TO FACE DOES THE WEAPON FUNCTION IN A DIFFERENT MANNER WILL CANTING WEAPON CAUSE SHOT DISPLACEMENT DOES THE SYSTEM WORK UTILIZING ONLY ONE HAND DOES THE TECHNIQUE PRESENT A DANGER WHEN WORKING IN PAIRS / TEAMS SHOT AVOIDANCE - HOW DOES THE STANCE EFFECT DISTANCE STABILITY - ARE WE ABLE TO MOVE AND FIGHT WITH A WEAPON IN OUR GRASP DISTANCE SHOOTING - 25 YARDS AND OUT - HOW EFFECTIVE IS THIS STYLE HOW THE SYSTEM IS COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER TYPES OF EQUIPMENT IE O.C. / A.S.P.

ON ALL OF THE ABOVE ISSUES THE SYSTEM WILL SHOW THAT IT : IMPROVES PERFORMANCE, REDUCES RISK, AND AIDS THE OPERATORS ABILITIES TO FUNCTION.

C.A.R.

FIREARMS TRAINING - 2005

10 POINT INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES

SABRE TACTICAL TRAINING RESOURCE AND RESEARCH 2004


TEN POINT I.O.’s Cognitive and Psychomotor I WILL REMEMBER THAT ON EVERY CALL I ATTEND, THERE IS ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE GUN INVOLVED --- " MINE "

• ( Records show 63% of officers killed in the line of duty involving a firearm in 1996 were killed with their own weapon. ) The C.A.R. firearms system offers a previously unobtainable level of weapon retention. For Officers of either gender, and with various levels of Physical fitness. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R The Student will recognize that every confrontation is an armed

confrontation with at least their weapon’s involvement. R The Student will demonstrate holstered and drawn weapon retention

techniques deployed against single and multiple Adversaries. THE MAJORITY OF ROUNDS DISCHARGED BY POLICE / LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL NATIONWIDE FAIL TO INCAPACITATE THEIR TARGET --- " WE CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS "

The C.A.R. utilizes Personal Crisis Focus, training which is unique to each Individual, and builds on the Individuals personal eyesight strengths. By teaching every Student the 'Standard Stance' we are setting them up to fail in a crisis when circumstances change from those practiced on the Academy ranges. The C.A.R. will work in a crisis. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R The Student will recognize and appreciate the risks involved of missing

the Target and the consequences of failing to achieve Immediate Incapacitation. R The Student will acquire, develop, and demonstrate during simulated fire

their personal Crisis Focal Point, in regard to single and multiple targets.

 . SABRE TACTICAL TRAINING 2005 - DO NOT REPRODUCE 7. STANDING STILL AND TRYING TO " FACE SQUARE ON " TO A TARGET WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED`--- "YOU"

• Training over the years has dictated that a Student "Face Off " in front of the target, and at set distances. This muscle memory training has caused Personnel to repeat this action when faced with a crisis situation. Often they have been out of hard cover, or have re-positioned themselves for that " Range Shooting Stance " putting themselves in danger. The C.A.R. teaches target acquisition whilst on the move, and the abilities to engage a target from less than optimum angles. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R The Student will identify the requirements to keep moving and continue to

be able to engage with precision and accuracy, any Hostile Threat. R The Student will practice target acquisition and engagement on the move,

towards cover, whilst limiting their personal Target Profile. Engaging single and multiple targets when a deadly force threat is presented. WHERE THERE IS ONE SUSPECT THERE IS LIKELY TO BE TWO.

• Today's societal changes have brought about increased dangers from multiple Adversaries such as Gangs and Mobs, often Teams / Partners will confront Law Enforcement Personnel. Increased awareness of Police Tactics through programs featured on the Media have enabled Criminals to better prepare and learn Anti - Tactic tactics to be used when they are confronted. The C.A.R. system trains Operators to deploy techniques against multiple attackers quickly and very efficiently. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R The Student will learn that Multiple Suspect contacts form a high number

of violent confrontations. R The Student will adopt defensive stances against Multiple Adversaries and

initiate gross motor actions using hands, elbows, and feet strikes.

 . SABRE TACTICAL TRAINING 2005 - DO NOT REPRODUCE 8. THE " 6 R's " ARE THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF WEAPON PROFICIENCY.

" REACTING REDUCING RELOADING RECOVERING RETURNING RETENTION " • The " 6 R's " when utilized through the C.A.R. system bring about increased stability, and therefor offers a higher level of readiness in times of crisis. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R The Student will understand the need for, and then develop a working

proficiency of the founding principles of the C.A.R. “6 R’s.” THE C.A.R. SYSTEM WAS DEVELOPED TO INTERACT WITH VARIOUS ITEMS OF DEFENSIVE EQUIPMENT, RANGING FROM BATON, THROUGH CHEMICAL IRRITANTS, AND FIREARMS..

• The C.A.R. system builds on the principles of Harmonious Muscle Placement, and works in harmony with the bodies natural physical design. This is in support of the physiological changes that occur to the body in moments of extreme crisis. Once learned the responses will be instinctive, and really work when they are needed the most. This builds confidence. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R The Student will identify the other Defensive Equipment they can deploy

that is compatible with this system. R The Student will demonstrate the operational proficiency of the C.A.R.

system in relation to the use of Chemical Irritants, Batons, and all modes of firearm weaponry.

 . SABRE TACTICAL TRAINING 2005 - DO NOT REPRODUCE 9. IT IS A FACT THAT SOME OFFICERS COULD ATTAIN A HIGHER LEVEL OF FITNESS - IN A FIGHT THE BAD " GUYS " WON'T CUT ANY SLACK.

• No matter what level of fitness is maintained the C.A.R. system allows an individual to utilize to their personal maximum, their bodies performance. • Techniques developed also assist in returning the body to a normal level of function after periods of extreme exertion. In addition to being able to prolong periods of physical application of the various techniques. R The Students will develop significant Body Control, to the maximum

effectiveness of their personal physical capabilities. THE C.A.R. ALLOWS THE USE OF DEFENSIVE WEAPONS IN CONFINED SPACES SUCH AS A PATROL CRUISER, OR WITHIN BUILDINGS.

• The C.A.R. techniques train Operators how to present various weapons within a confined space, in addition to utilizing weapons with restricted view, when deploying tactically wearing hard hats and respirators. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R List the situations in which the C.A.R. system can be utilized effectively. R Demonstrate use of techniques from their cruisers, and in confined spaces. STATISTICALLY MOST OFFICERS INVOLVED IN A SHOOT -OUT DO NOT INITIALLY HAVE TO RE-LOAD. HOWEVER, THAT RELOAD IS ESSENTIAL IF THERE IS A CONTINUING GUN -BATTLE, OR AN ADDITIONAL THREAT

• The C.A.R. utilizes specialized reloading techniques that allows maximum speed, balanced in harmony with tactical reloading procedures, when low noise factors are important. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R Recognize when a Weapon Reload is required to be initiated. R Demonstrate all aspects of Combat and Tactical Reloading techniques

from acute body positions, in low light levels, and on the move.

 . SABRE TACTICAL TRAINING 2005 - DO NOT REPRODUCE 10. WHEN AN OFFICER IS " 10 - 34 " OR OTHERWISE INJURED THEY MUST BE ABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.

The C.A.R. " S.H.O.T. " program which is an acronym for :

SINGLE HANDED OPERATING TACTICS The system trains an Operator to utilize their defensive weaponry despite being injured or semi-incapacitated. This system supports whatever body functions are available to the Operator, and from various positions. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES R The Student will understand that most situations are Survivable despite

serious injuries. R The Student will learn techniques that may be deployed if they are

physically dis-advantaged during any Crisis Situation.


INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES After 40 hours of Instruction, R The Student will recognize that every confrontation is an armed

confrontation with at least their weapon’s involvement. R The Student will demonstrate holstered and drawn weapon retention

techniques deployed against single and multiple Adversaries. R The Student will recognize and appreciate the risks involved of missing

the Target and the consequences of failing to achieve Immediate Incapacitation. R The Student will acquire, develop, and demonstrate during simulated fire,

their personal Crisis Focal Point, in regard to single and multiple targets. R The Student will identify the requirements to keep moving and continue to

be able to engage with precision and accuracy the Hostile Threat. R The Student will practice target acquisition and engagement on the move,

towards cover, whilst limiting their personal Target Profile. Engaging single and multiple targets. R The Student will learn that Multiple Suspect contacts form a high number

of violent confrontations. R The Student will adopt defensive stances against Multiple Adversaries

and initiate gross motor actions using hands, elbows, and feet strikes. R The Student will develop a working proficiency of the founding principles

of the C.A.R. “6 R’s.” R The Student will identify other items of defensive equipment they may

deploy, that is compatible with this system.

STANDARDS & CONDITIONS

CLASS ROOM / RANGE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

.



FORWARD Sabre TTRR. believes that safety cannot ever be compromised. Sabre TTRR. provides training to Law Enforcement and Specialized Military Units in the U.S.A. as well as Europe. Our training doctrines are designed to push an Individuals performance to their personal limits. We are certain that when it comes down to a life or death struggle against an Adversary mistakes are unacceptable. At or during training Students may make mistakes, they will be compelled to learn from them. In the field, when they make a mistake they may die from them. Therefor we encourage whenever possible “Individual Responsibility.” Our Trainers cannot be ‘There in the field’ when the fight is on. Our responsibility is geared to better preparing the Student to be able to think for themselves, become self reliant, and build confidence through knowledge. We seek to teach the best training techniques currently available, and to continue to research and develop new techniques that will keep the cutting edge firmly on the side of Law Enforcement and Military Personnel. Sabre TTRR. is fully committed to improving Students ‘Personal Safety.’ The attitude that promotes personal safety, We believe, comes from within the Individual. The will to win cannot be taught, it must be cultivated. We must sow the seeds of a personal desire to win. Who dares to win, generally will. Training concepts that make Students work hard, can be difficult to teach and ultimately to achieve. As Human Beings we tend to look for short-cuts. Sabre TTRR. believes that short-cuts are simply short-falls. Our promise to each Student is to offer a training syllabus that works in a crisis, it is not always an easy path. We will strive to achieve those ends, and never take leave of those responsibilities.

We know our responsibilities. You must know yours.


Ultimately the first and last responsibility is yours. Your actions will dictate the circumstances. Your tactics will either help or hinder your personal survival. You must take responsibility for your actions. With these doctrines in mind we have developed a set of Range Shooting drills, and Weapons Retention drills. These drills are taught in unison with Full Hand combat techniques, and Open Hand self defense. Precise rules of training have been set out within this manual of Guidance and Instruction. These rules will be complied with at all times. There will be no exception to these rules. They have been set in place to reduce the risks of injury to Students, Instructors, and guest VIPs, that will from time to time, observe training sessions. Any Student that fails to follow Instructions, comply with Course Rules, or displays a counter - productive Attitude will be required to depart from the School. The departure from the school by a Student is not subject to appeal. Training will always be accompanied by risk. The higher the training standard the higher the associated risk. Therefore rules must be laid down to manage the risk level, and ensure that any risks are minimal and acceptable.

Risk Management is the Aim. Reduction of all foreseeable danger is our Mission.


WEAPON SAFETY ORDERS THE MAINTENANCE OF YOUR HIGHEST STANDARDS ARE :

" DEMANDED " DEATH IS THE CONSEQUENCE R STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE RANGE “CONDITION CODES” AND “RANGE FIRING ORDERS” PRIOR TO ATTENDING THE RANGE. R ALL WEAPONS WILL BE MAINTAINED IN CONDITION 1 or 2 UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED WHILE ON THE RANGE.

The below sign will be displayed on each of the four walls of the classroom, and on the outside of each door accessible to the classroom itself. These signs will remain in their positions throughout the entire duration of the School.

DID YOU CHECK YOUR PERSONAL FIREARM ?

C.A.R.

IS IT UNLOADED ?

-

CHECK IT AGAIN....


Students are likely to attend the first day of training sessions, with their personal firearm’s in their possession. The weapons are likely to be loaded. On commencement of the first day Students will follow the below instructions. Each subsequent day will be repeated in the same manner. Students will assemble on the range firing line in one single line, or as required due to range constraints. If no range is available adjacent to class, then a safe direction will be nominated.

The following instructions shall be given verbally R Remove Weapon from holster and point weapon horizontally down range / or in a safe direction. R Remove magazine and place in suitable pocket. R Pull slide to rear and eject round from chamber. Recover previously chambered round if possible but do not move your position or direction of weapon from the line. R Work action to the rear three times. R Check breach is clear by inserting finger into chamber area, then commence a visible check. R Inspect barrel for foreign objects. R Show clear to person to your left or right. R Re-holster weapon with slide locked to the rear. R If cleared long-weapon remain in port arms position.


WEAPONS CHECK PRIOR TO ENTRY TO CLASSROOM Prior to return into the classroom each Student will comply with the following below detailed drills. A nominated Student / and Instructor will check each weapon prior to that Student entering the classroom. The nominated Team Leader for each team will observe safety procedures.

R The weapon will be removed from the holster only after the slide is seen to be locked back. R The Student will present the weapon from the ‘Port position.’ R The Student shall stand fast until the weapon is proved clear. R The weapon will be re-holstered with slide locked back before entry is permitted.

THE ‘PORT’ POSITION

VISIBLY CHECK CHAMBER

No live ammunition will be allowed inside the classroom. If circumstances require special security all ammunition will be stored in a previously deemed ‘safe area’ of the training complex.


WEAPONS CHECK PRIOR TO FIELD STRIP The ‘field Strip’ is a drill designed to teach basic weapons knowledge to a Student so that they can repair any basic stoppage caused by bad ammunition. Or clear and clean away contamination by dirt, mud, or other medium from the weapons basic working parts, while operating in the field. Learning to field strip your weapon is as important as learning how to service and maintain your vehicle. Practice will make perfect. Students will undergo field stripping of their weapons under a variety of conditions including low / no light conditions. GLOCK Model 22. in field strip mode The Glock Pistol must be checked 'Clear' prior to a field strip in order to strip the slide from the frame. Failure to undertake the correct unloading techniques may bring about a negligent discharge of the weapon.

A visual inspection must be undertaken prior to stripping. Rack slide back three times after removing magazine if previously loaded. Ensure the live round has been ejected. If in doubt check it out. In any case maintain muzzle safety, do not sweep other persons present.


As there are many different departmental weapons utilized on training courses the following drills will be completed without fail prior to every field stripping exercise. Students will line up with cleared weapons in the Port position, a final safety check will be conducted.

R The slide will be pulled to the rear at least three times. R The breach will be checked visibly and a finger inserted into chamber. R The weapon will be pointed in a safe direction, and if applicable, the trigger will be depressed in order to dis-engage the mechanism. R The weapon will be field stripped into the basic component parts for inspection prior to the reassemble. The dis-assembly should consist of the below items.

Frame Recoil Spring Barrel Slide ** Recoil Rod / Guide


WEAPONS CHECK PRIOR TO PRACTICAL EXERCISES Prior to various practical drills and exercises each Student will comply with the following below detailed drills. A nominated Student / and Instructor will check each weapon prior to each Student commencing the drills. The nominated Team Leader for each team will observe safety procedures. The nominated Team Safety Officer for each team will complete the safety procedures.

R The weapon will be removed from the holster only after the slide is seen to be locked back. R The Student will present the weapon from the ‘Port position.’ R The Student shall stand fast until the weapon is proved clear. R The weapon will be re-holstered with slide locked forward before training drills are permitted. R Each Team will be requested to call clear. All weapons will be visibly checked empty and clear. If in doubt check it out again, be safe. An Instructor, the Team safety Officer, and Student training partner will always visibly inspect each others weapons before drills are commenced.

BIBLIOGRAPHY THE C.A.R. “ CENTER AXIS RE-LOCK ” FIREARMS SYSTEM IS A RADICALLY NEW CONCEPT IN FIREARMS TRAINING AND TECHNIQUES. THE SYSTEM WAS DEVELOPED AND SUPPORTED BY SELF TAUGHT TECHNIQUES BASED ON OVER 23 YEARS SHOOTING EXPERIENCE. VERY FEW INDIVIDUAL “ TITLED ” RESEARCH DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN USED IN THE COMPILATION OF THIS PROGRAM, HOWEVER, IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT A COMBINATION OF PEOPLE AND EXPERIENCES HAVE ALLOWED THIS SYSTEM TO HAVE BEEN “ BORN” AND TAKEN SHAPE IN ITS EXISTING FORMAT. MUCH OF THIS TRAINING HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO “ OFFICIAL SECRETS & RESTRICTED DOCUMENTS ” AND THEREFORE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES. WITH THAT IN MIND I SHOULD LIKE TO CREDIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE UNDOUBTEDLY ASSISTED MY PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER THAT I COULD HAVE WRITTEN THIS PROGRAM.

EVALUATION AND CRITIQUES There is much to be learned through the techniques of “Self Reflection” and the input from Peers. It is very important however that this application be utilized in a specific way, when giving to another Person your Personal Critique. Remember to : EVIDENCE YOUR COMMENTS R i.e. “You used 11 rounds when engaging that target” S Not : “You used a lot of rounds when you just shot”

Praise where you can, and critique when you must. Take ownership of your comments. Use the word “ I ” not “ We.” Do not repeat the critique of another Trainer / Student, as this is simply repeating and compounding for no practical benefit to the Recipient. Never be afraid to give an honest answer, because failure to do so, simply will not help a Student develop their skills. If an area of concern is mentioned by the Student themselves, do not repeat their observation. Try to start on the positive points, then the areas of development required, then end on a Positive Point. Be aware of the levels of Critique, and select the most appropriate level to apply. When you receive a critique try to avoid justifying your actions and concentrate on reflecting as to why the comment was given, and how you can improve next time. Remember to thank a Student for their work or effort into the session. Any work displayed on a chalk or dry board should be reviewed, and prior to erasure, ask the Student if it is OK to remove their work, as there is a requirement to move onto another area.
