Contingency Operations™

This advanced course is designed for personnel tasked with planning, executing, or supporting Crisis Response and Limited Contingency Operations. It develops critical judgment, adaptability, and field performance through immersive, scenario-driven training focused on operating in overseas, urban, and complex environments.

Students gain experience navigating real-world challenges including degraded infrastructure, limited support, foreign partner coordination, and dynamic security conditions. The course bridges operational planning with on-the-ground execution, sharpening the team’s ability to assess, adapt, and act in support of mission requirements.

Ideal for individuals or small teams preparing to support short-notice or forward-deployed operations, this course builds the mindset and capability required to operate effectively in uncertain, high-friction environments.

H-Hour™

This Full Mission Profile (FMP) exercise provides a rigorous test of individual, team, and organizational readiness to plan and execute a full-spectrum airfield seizure and assault zone operation. Designed to replicate the complexity and unpredictability of real-world missions, the scenario is unscripted and unfamiliar to participants, forcing adaptive thinking and tactical decision-making under pressure.

Personnel employ the full range of military decision-making and tactical operations processes to enable joint and combined aviation and ground mobility in austere, contested environments. The event is structured to expose strengths and gaps across planning, communication, execution, and leadership — providing valuable insight into mission preparedness at every level.

Ideal for validating capability before real-world tasking, this event stresses both technical proficiency and operational cohesion under conditions that mirror actual crisis and contingency operations.
