The goal is to build a strong foundation in the fundamentals so students are prepared to perform safely and effectively in Level 2, Level 3, and other advanced or scenario-based Keystone training. The course uses Sims/marking cartridges in open terrain for force-on-force training. It includes an overnight bivy/patrol base, night patrols, and low-light hand-and-arm signal work. Students will also cover stand-to/stand-down and challenge-and-pass procedures to reinforce field discipline. Lawful Purpose & Conduct Training is provided for lawful purposes only, including skill development, professional development, and controlled scenario-based training. Keystone Dynamic Solutions does not provide training intended to be used in, or in furtherance of, civil disorder or unlawful acts.
