The training firm that is now OPS began in the early 1990’s as the Martial Marksmanship Institute. Our initial focus was U.S. Military Rifle training, and this is still one of our areas of specialization. To serve the needs of U.S. service personnel and contractors deploying overseas, OPS has implemented the Martial Marksmanship program: a series of one- and two-day skills classes with rifles, carbines, and handguns designed explicitly to provide the maximum gains in the time available.

This training can either be conducted for an entire unit, or for the individual operator. Private and semi-private classes are popular for those who wish to hone their personal abilities to a high level. We literally wrote the book on Combat Rifle Marksmanship Exercises and Surgical Speed Shooting with the handgun (and produced several useful instructional videos as well.)

The Martial Marksmanship Program consists of:

MMP – Martial Marksmanship, Pistol. An analog to our Surgical Speed Shooting course for the military operator, using the Beretta M9, Glock 17/19, or other issue sidearm.

MMC/R – Martial Marksmanship, Carbine/Rifle. See the course description for our Tactical Carbine/Rifle course for details; the Martial Marksmanship version includes additional drills and exercises specific to the military context.

MMK – Martial Marksmanship, Kalashnikov. This enhanced version of our Combat Kalashnikov Skills course will prepare you to use the AK family of weapons.

MMI – Martial Marksmanship Intensive. The entire Martial Marksmanship curriculum taught in a 5-day format.

Unit level training is available on a contract basis, at your facility or ours. For the individual operator, private and semi-private courses cover basically twice the material in the same time, and include 100% coaching. We have confirmed with dozens of clients that the slight difference in cost is more than offset by the accelerated learning curve.
