From flat range to live-fire shoot house. Your team’s timeline.

Close Quarters Combat (CQB) is fighting in structures where action happens at arm’s length. It requires conditioned responses under stress — enter, dominate, process, move. T1G builds CQB proficiency through progressive live-fire training across purpose-built infrastructure, including: flat ranges, an 8-lane reactive Rogers Range, two SIMS facilities for force-on-force, and two ballistic shoot houses for live-fire validation. 777 unrestricted acres. Day and night operations. 5-20 day packages built around your team’s current capabilities.

Your team shows up, T1G’s cadre is going to assess where they are within the first evolution. Strong shooters who need structure work are probably headed to the SIMS House. Marksmanship gaps can be addressed first on Rogers Range — reactive AR550 steel at half-second exposures, pivot drills, target discrimination, low-light and NVG-integrated firing — until the fundamentals are where they need to be. From there, teams could progress into the SIMS CQB Training Center — 24 reconfigurable rooms and 40 doors — where room clearing, hallway procedures, immediate assaults, and force-on-force decision-making get refined rep after rep. Proficiency is validated in live-fire shoot houses with full mission profiles from initial entry through exploitation and exfil. The timeline may flex. The standard does not.

All of your training assets are co-located. Flat range to SIMS to shoot house in a single training day — no convoy movements, no scheduling conflicts, no dead time. The SIMS CQB Training Center can be reconfigured between iterations, so your team faces a different problem every rep without leaving the building. That tempo is why units get more done in a week here than in two weeks on a government installation — our 33% more training time advantage. T1G’s project managers handle the package, logistics, and backside support. They adapt the plan as your team progresses. Your team’s only focus is on getting better.

CQB (Close Quarters Battle) is the Army and Marine Corps term. CQC (Close Quarters Combat) is Navy and Air Force. Same skillset, different service terminology. T1G trains both and matches the language your unit uses.

SOF, special purpose forces, and tactical law enforcement units running close-quarter and precision raid operations. T1G builds packages for team-level through group-sized elements.

5 to 20 days. Your team’s proficiency level drives the timeline. Strong shooters move into structures faster. Teams building from baseline spend more time on the range first.

Flat ranges, Rogers Range, SIMS House, SIMS CQB Training Center (24 rooms, 40 doors), two ballistic shoot houses, and a 30-acre MOUT complex. All on 777 acres in Memphis. All available 24/7.

CQB builds close quarters proficiency — marksmanship through room clearing through live-fire validation. AUC is for teams that already have that proficiency and need to integrate it with breaching, sniper-initiated assaults, ground mobility, and multi-discipline full mission profiles. CQB builds the foundation. AUC integrates it.

CQB Training at T1G

T1G trains close quarters combat as a progression, not an event. Flat range to SIMS House to SIMS CQB Training Center to live-fire shoot houses. Each environment raises the stakes and each rep builds the conditioned responses that keep operators alive. T1G meets your team where they are. A unit arriving proficient on the range starts in structures on day one. A unit needing marksmanship work starts on Rogers Range and earns their way forward. The event adapts to your team — your team does not adapt to a fixed curriculum.

Every training environment is co-located on 777 acres. Operators move from flat range to SIMS to shoot house without dead time. The SIMS CQB Training Center reconfigures between iterations — residential to commercial to multi-story problems. Teams train against different scenarios every rep without leaving the building. More reps per day. Faster progression. 33% more training time than a military installation.

On any given training day:

  • Progress from SIMS force-on-force to live-fire shoot houses in the same training day
  • Train in a 24-room reconfigurable CQB facility that changes scenarios between iterations
  • Sustain marksmanship on an 8-lane reactive range with sub-second target exposures
  • Run day and night CQB operations including NVG-integrated live fire
  • Execute full-spectrum STX from initial entry through SSE and extraction
  • Train 24/7 — no curfews, no range closures, no noise restrictions
