This instructor-level course covers the full family of ALS munitions including our impact munitions, chemical agents, distraction devices, and stun munitions. This course will pre- pare the instructor to train end users in the deployment and use of kinetic energy impact projectiles, ballistic breaching, chemical agents, and noise/fl ash diversionary devices.
