Armed Movement in Structures: Southnarc

Southnarc is the training name of the recently retired commander of an inter-agency Gulf Coast narcotics unit and SWAT Team. More details can be seen at shivworks.com .

The ShivWorks Armed Movement in Structures (AMIS) course is a twenty hour block of instruction focusing on negotiating movement problems within structures with limited or no resources. Realizing that moving through a structure that contains armed hostiles, perhaps by one’s self, is probably the most dangerous task one can undertake, the best options for winning a confrontation are presented with the qualification that there is no safe way to do this.

Day One (12 hours):

  • Viewing the environment in terms of the unseen
  • Vertical, Horizontal, and Diagonal planes of visual obscurement
  • Distance variables and the visual apex
  • Threshold evaluation
  • Dynamic and Deliberate movement
  • Room Entry factors (known versus unknown)
  • Minimizing multiple exposure
  • Modifying the fighting platform to conform to cover and concealment
  • Re-setting/Disrupting the adversary’s OODA loop
  • Chalk board exercises
  • Dry-runs
  • FoF evolutions
  • Low-light module
