The Training Allied Group (TAG) website is underdevelopment. We anticipate that the website will be up and running March/April 2017.
TAG is where you will find Tactical Training across the United States filtered and organized to find training near you. Instructors are elite veterans of US Special Operations, like Navy Seals, Army Rangers, and Special Forces. They independently conduct courses throughout the United States to qualified individuals and agencies, where you can learn close combat, team tactics, combat driving, night vision operations, and more. TAG networks with these instructors so you can search for and compare courses nationwide.
If you are looking for tactical shooting drills from instructors who teach combat courses from elite schools like Academi (formerly Black Water) and have real combat experience and the best combat training from shooting schools, which far exceed training like that taught at Front Sight or your basic concealed carry class (CCW), then you should check us out in just a few weeks. We'll offer tactical training courses for civilians, where you can get real military combat training from special forces instructors. The best part of it is that it's a network of instructors, so you can find the one that's teaching the combat course you want. Combat courses for civilians is not found everywhere and only the elite few are actually qualified to teach it, people like Mike Pannone, Larry Vickers, and Pat McNamara just to name a few.
If you are an instructor with top-level training and experience and would like to be considered for this group, please contact us.

Firearms training is unique and interesting work. Every class is different but there are some common issues I would like to bring up that will benefit anyone taking serious training.
1) Get recommendations on gear by someone that knows what they are talking about.
Don't just buy something that looks cool. I have seen people that have bought some sort of upside down magazine Pez dispenser that mounts on your back and feeds you mags. It must have been inspired by Laura Croft in Tomb Raider and it is absolutely ridiculous. "Tacticool" is not the same as "Tactical".
2) Try on your gear before you show up to train. This means all of your gear at the same time, yes even your sling. It seems like a no brainer but it happens.
3) If you can, Zero your weapon prior to training. We can always confirm a quick zero but if there are 12 students that aren't even on paper it burns valuable training time.
4) Always keep your gear consistent. If you are shooting a pistol and then put on a chest rig don't mount your pistol on the vest. Don't move your pistol mags to your vest. Don't throw on a drop leg holster. If you remain consistent you won't be reaching for your pistol in the wrong place during a transition. If you have ever trained or operated under night vision and had to transition or do a mag change you understand where I am coming from.
5) Speaking of drop leg holsters. They look real cool but that is it. Try running 50 yards in one and you will find out that that gun isn't where it was when you started and most likely it hit you in the crotch half a dozen times. Most don't know this but there is an actual purpose for the drop leg holster. It was made for Navy SEALS. When they are finning underwater they may have to wear a weight belt so there is no room for a holster. The solution was the drop leg holster.
Just a few things that are common and easy to fix.
We set out to provide top-notch training and simulate a war-time environment to give you the opportunity to test your skills in a force-on-force environment.
Imagine being given orders to conduct reconnaissance against enemy troops in hostile territory with only a small team of six operators to assist. No UAVs, Satellites, Air Support, or Artillery. Just you and your team vs. the bad guys. You'll need to dig deep on this and rely on your training and team work to get you through.
STORM is short for Survive, Target, Observe, Resist, and Maneuver. And you need to do all those things to complete the course successfully. It's a two-day course conducted in the desert foothills of the Superstition Mountains in central Arizona. The course is on the Arizona National Guard Shooting Range in Florence.
Day one you'll receive several briefings and learn Land Navigation; essential for you to reach your target. Pace count, map reading, routes, and terrain association. Then we'll cover patrol techniques including your emergency actions and duties should you come under fire. You'll be briefed on exactly what to look for and how to report it in a concise manner. You'll plan an emergency escape and evasion route in case you're discovered or come under fire.
Then, when the time is right, you'll begin your mission and see how you fare. You'll be getting back to base pretty late- we recommend camping on site, but there's a hotel nearby in case you need it.
Day two we'll cover lifesaving actions in combat first aid. You learn how to apply a TQ and chest seals as well as other essential first aid actions. The reason you'll be learning this is while you and your team are convoying, you'll come under enemy fire and your driver will be injured! You'll need to take emergency action to escape alive. Finally, we'll conduct a hooded box drill which will test your ability to react and engage hostiles in a moment's notice.
The action will be intense and you'll be guided the entire way by professional warriors. We will use both live ammunition and simunition rounds during the training. With full authority of the National Guard, you're range safety officers will ensure everyone has a safe event. You will learn and gain vast experience during these two days.
