Course Description: This program of instruction is a 3 Day Designated Marksman/ Protective Overwatch (DMPO) immersion course in the high threat paradigm. The training module consists of our Scoped Rifle Manipulation Level 1 course plus additional material covering field craft and operational tasks for protective overwatch duties. Students will engage targets from 50-600 yards and within realistic scenarios of fire for a protective overwatch mission. This course is not easy. The training day will reflect a Designated Protective Marksman’s actual work day on a protection detail. There are very few breaks, a rapid training tempo and strenuous activity mixed with intense scenarios and informative lectures.
