Situation
Operation SHOOTER is a collaboration between Green Beret Fitness, The SawMill Training Complex, and Born Primitive Tactical. The original event was based on the famous British Royal Marines Commando Test, the Endurance Course. Operation SHOOTER has progressed since then to encompass realistic military training and tactics.
Candidates will require all their own equipment and ammunition.
Background
This event will place you, the candidate, in a more realistic and demanding environment than any other shooting event in the USA.
- Events are based on realistic operational situations.
- Events will not be revealed until the day - just like real life, we train for every scenario.
- You’ll get wet. You’ll get dirty. You’ll get frustrated. Can you remain calm?
Mission
Candidates must complete seven events over two days, and one night. The scores for each event will be added to get a total score. You will not be given your score until the very end.
The Events (subject to change)
Event 1. The Endurance.
Event 2. The Obstacle.
Event 3. The Rope.
Event 4. The Run.
Event 5. The Carry.
Event 6. The Omelette.
Event 7. The Peace.
Execution
Candidates will complete events while carrying 25 lbs in a backpack (not including water, food, and firearms).
Courses will be well marked and will consist of off-road, on track, and water obstacles. Candidates should ensure their kit is fully waterproof.
Between events, candidates are encouraged to hydrate, rest, and maintain their equipment.
Scoring
Scores will be taken from both the fitness and shooting elements. You will not know where you place until the end of the event. There will be an overall Male and Female winner.Â
