SUMMARY:Ghost Fighter NVG ALPHA 2/13/2027
DESCRIPTION:GHOST FIGHTER NVG ALPHA is a prerequisite for the GHOST FIGHTER
  NVG BRAVO course. \nCourse Alpha Description: \nThe Barrel & Hatchet GHO
 ST Fighter Night Vision Courses are broken into two segments Alpha & Bravo.
  In the Alpha course  students will begin with zeroing equipment and gaini
 ng a solid understanding of the use of NVG’s and all equipment for night 
 operations. Students will build a solid foundation of basic daytime tasks u
 nder the constraints of limited FOV (field of view) under night vision. The
  course is designed to build confidence using fluid adjustments of night vi
 sion devices and individual equipment. Students will also be exposed to dif
 ferent techniques to camouflage and hide from night vision devices as well 
 as white light. This course drives the student to enhance and rely on other
  senses to make them as effective at night as they are in the day. In this 
 course users will build their individual equipment and learn the lost skill
  of accessing their gear\, through touch and feel. Students will be able to
  avoid obstacles and also move quietly through local terrain and move in di
 fferent formations while utilizing techniques to enhance their senses in co
 njunction with NVG’s. During this course students will have to solve basi
 c and complex problems as a group and individually. Basic firearms handling
  and night shooting techniques will be exposed to the student. \nCourse Al

 ha will be scheduled as a single-day or two-day class in conjunction with t
 he Bravo course. In order for the Bravo course to be scheduled stand-alone 
 it MUST be attended by students who have completed the GHOST Fighter Alpha 
 course.This course is NOT meant for new shooters. It is expected for studen
 ts to have an extremely strong foundation in the basic fundamentals of pist
 ol and rifle skills and extremely competent safety practices. Failure to de
 monstrate these skills is grounds for immediate removal from the course and
  NON REFUNDABLE.\n \nProhibited equipment:\n\n\nWar Sport LVOA-C\, LVOA-S 
 and LVOA-SP models are not allowed due to excessive muzzle flash that can d
 amage night vision equipment.\n\n\nLantac Dragon muzzle devices are not all
 owed due to excessive muzzle flash that can damage night vision equipment.\
 n\n\nSmooth rail/handguard rifles-due to the need to attach accessories\, t
 raditional handguards will not function in this course.\n\n\nReloaded Ammun
 ition is not allowed for use due to increased difficulty in diagnosing atyp
 ical malfunctions under night vision use.\n\n\n*In general\, Compensator an
 d Brake style muzzle devices are designed to maximize reduction in felt rec
 oil\, allowing a flatter shooting rifle\, however these devices in general 
 produce more visible muzzle flash and more felt concussive force near the s
 hooter.  Because of these factors\, students are strongly encouraged to us
 e flash hiders and/or suppressors to minimize muzzle signature and prevent 
 partner/team disruption in close proximity.\n\n\n****BE ADVISED****\nTHERE
