We've all seen the news from Mass Shootings, and we've all heard the "solutions" often touted such as limiting magazine size, banning certain types of firearms, background checks, raising minimum ages, and so and and so on. In the 25 years since the Columbine Shooting, many of these have been tried... Yet shootings continue.

So what are the real facts about mass shootings? Do the solutions pushed by media and politicians offer any hope?

Of the incidents where duration could be measured, the FBI found about 70% ended in five minutes or less.

Level 2 is built around those five minutes. The building is still a problem. The adversary is still making decisions. And the casualty you treated is getting worse.

Level 1 teaches the contact. Level 2 teaches the ground you have to hold afterward, and the trauma protocol you run while holding it. DAY ONE — TACTICAL Door mechanics: control, deny, defend Breaking contact and the hallway killing ground Building and fighting from a prepared position Care Under Fire capstone — self and buddy aid during an ongoing fight Extended force-on-force against adaptive role players in a two-story reconfigurable shoot house DAY TWO — MEDICAL Taught by Valkyries Austere Medical Solutions.

Care Under Fire transitioning to Tactical Field Care MARCH beyond the tourniquet — airway, respiration, circulation, hypothermia and head injury The reassessment loop: recognizing and correcting failed interventions Multiple casualties, triage decisions, and moving a casualty to cover WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH You leave able to hold defensible ground against a thinking adversary and run a deliberate trauma protocol while still in the fight.

BUILT ON THE SAME COMMAND STRUCTURE THE PROFESSIONALS USE RS³ is organized on the Incident Command System — ICS — the framework American emergency services use to run every major incident in the country.

If you have not encountered it, here is what it is. The Incident Command System is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards approach to managing an emergency. It came out of the California wildfires of the 1970s, where the problem was never a shortage of firefighters — it was that agencies arriving from different jurisdictions used different words, different rank structures, and different assumptions, and could not work together fast enough. ICS fixed that by standardizing how any incident gets organized, regardless of size, cause, or who shows up. It is now a core component of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the national framework administered by FEMA, and it is what your local police, fire, and EMS run on. Hospitals, school districts, and utilities use it too.

ICS is not a set of tactics. It is a set of management characteristics — common terminology, management by objectives, manageable span of control, the establishment and transfer of command, designated incident facilities. Those characteristics do not change when the incident is small. They just get performed by fewer people.

In the first minutes of a violent event, that is exactly your situation. You are the entire incident organization — incident commander, operations, and medical branch, all at once — and you are going to hand that incident off to professionals who arrive expecting an ICS structure.

At five minutes, the incident has geography. Level 2 introduces incident facilities and locations — in ICS, a formal incident has designated places where specific things happen, and so does yours. The defensible position you build and fight from is functioning as your incident command post: the place from which you observe, decide, and communicate. The place you move casualties to is functioning as your casualty collection point. Deciding where those are, committing to them, and being able to tell an arriving officer where they are is an ICS skill performed under fire. Level 2 also drills the reassessment loop — ICS assumes an incident changes and requires you to re-evaluate on a cycle rather than executing a plan you made two minutes ago. Interventions fail, adversaries move, and the trained response is to check, not to assume.

Why we built it this way rather than inventing our own system:

It is the language the people arriving already speak. The most dangerous ninety seconds of an armed citizen's day may be the ninety seconds when law enforcement arrives and does not know who you are. A structured handoff works because it is the format they are trained to receive. It scales without changing. The same structure governs one person in a hallway and a nine-person church safety team across a campus. It is auditable. Numbered units, published learning objectives, defined contact hours, performance-based evaluation. That matters when a church board, school administrator, HR director, or insurance carrier has to review the training your team took. It is not proprietary, so it is testable. We adopted the framework emergency management already uses instead of inventing one and naming it after ourselves.

The curriculum is also NFPA 3000-informed (the standard for Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response) and TCCC/TECC-based.

RS³ is ICS-aligned, not ICS-accredited.

RS³ is not a FEMA course. SierraBravo On Target, LLC is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or accredited by FEMA, the Emergency Management Institute, or any federal, state, or local emergency management agency. Completing an RS³ course confers no FEMA, NIMS, or ICS credential, certification, qualification, or continuing-education credit of any kind. RS³ certificates document contact hours and content covered — nothing more.

If you want actual ICS certification, FEMA offers it directly and most of it is free. ICS-100 and ICS-200 are available online through FEMA's Emergency Management Institute; ICS-300 (Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents) and ICS-400 (Advanced ICS for Command and General Staff) are delivered in person through state emergency management agencies. We encourage it, and it pairs well with this program. Start at training.fema.gov.

WHO THIS IS FOR Level 1 graduates. Church and school safety team members who have completed Level 1 and are responsible for holding ground, not just for themselves. Anyone who finished Level 1 and found the force-on-force block clarifying rather than discouraging.

We do not train civilians to act as law enforcement. We train them to protect people and survive until professionals arrive.

Two clocks start at the same instant.

The tactical clock — is it over, is there another one, where is my family. And the medical clock — someone is bleeding, and a person bleeding severely can die from blood loss in about five minutes.

Almost all civilian training addresses the first clock only. You are sent to a range for the fight and, if you are unusually diligent, to a classroom for the medicine — and never taught to run both under pressure, in sequence, as one event. RS³ Level 1 trains both. It is the first rung of a four-level ladder built around an expanding clock: two minutes, five minutes, twenty minutes, one hour. DAY ONE — TACTICAL Situational awareness and a usable color code Pre-attack indicators and threat recognition Space, angles, and time CQB fundamentals for a civilian's actual job — not room clearing, but understanding structure well enough to move to your family, hold a doorway, or avoid a fatal funnel Immediate action under force-on-force in a two-story reconfigurable shoot house, using marking cartridges with certified protective equipment DAY TWO — MEDICAL Taught by Valkyries Austere Medical Solutions.

TCCC and emergency first aid foundations Massive hemorrhage control — tourniquets and wound packing, to repetition Airway and breathing basics The MARCH framework, introduced WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH You leave able to recognize a developing threat and act decisively in the seconds that decide the outcome — and able to stop a life-threatening bleed.

In the first minutes of a violent event, that is exactly your situation. You are the entire incident organization — incident commander, operations, and medical branch, all at once — and you are going to hand that incident off to professionals who arrive expecting an ICS structure.

At Level 1, you are a single responder. This course teaches the ICS characteristics that apply when there is only one of you: establishment of command — recognizing that someone is in charge of this incident and that right now it is you, and acting rather than waiting; management by objectives — picking the objective that matters in this ten seconds rather than trying to solve the whole event at once, which is the difference between deliberate action and freezing; and common terminology — using the same plain words responding agencies use. FEMA's own guidance is to use clear text: plain English, no codes, no jargon. That is a trained skill under adrenaline, and we train it.

Armed and Unbreakable | Monthly Women's Training Group

This is the page and community for the Armed and Unbreakable Monthly Women's Training Group — a place for women who are done waiting to feel ready.

Whether you've never touched a firearm or you've been carrying for years, you'll find the same thing here: women who have your back. We train together, we ask hard questions out loud, and we celebrate every win, from the first safe draw to the tight group you didn't think you had in you.

What you'll find here

A monthly training group built on encouragement, not intimidation Instruction that meets you exactly where you are, at your pace A community that keeps showing up for each other between sessions Zero judgment, zero ego, zero "you should already know this"

At AAUB, we fundamentally believe that cost should not be a barrier to getting the training and confidence you're looking for. Skill and self-reliance shouldn't be a luxury. That belief shapes how we price, how we teach, and who we make room for.

Come once and you'll see the difference. Keep coming and you'll feel it.

Confidence isn't given. It's trained, tested, and earned — and you don't have to earn it alone.

Level 1 taught you the first minute. Level 2 taught you the first five. Level 3 covers what almost nobody trains for: the twenty-five minutes after that, when the initial response is over, help has not arrived yet, and the problem has moved outdoors, onto the road, and around vehicles.

Day 1 — Dynamic Battlespace and Vehicles

The close-quarters work moves out of the sim house. You are in a parking lot, at a curb, or stopped in traffic when it starts. We cover:

Reading and moving through a dynamic battlespace on foot and in a vehicle What a vehicle actually stops and what it does not — the difference between cover and concealment on a car, and where the real cover is Fighting from in and around a vehicle: working from the seat, getting out under threat, and shooting around the structure of the car Moving between vehicles and to hard cover without becoming the easiest target on the street Defending from a vehicle-based position while you wait, and deciding when to hold and when to move Using the vehicle as an extraction platform: getting yourself, your family, or a casualty out, including loading a wounded person and driving out under stress Managing bystanders, passengers, and arriving law enforcement during a prolonged incident

Day 2 — Life Sustainment Through Thirty Minutes

Level 2 got the bleeding stopped and the casualty moved. Day 2 continues the sMARCH protocol into sustainment, which is where casualties are won or lost when EMS is delayed:

Reassessment: interventions that worked at minute two and start failing at minute twenty Airway management and positioning over time Respiratory monitoring and recognizing a casualty who is getting worse Circulation checks, shock recognition, and keeping perfusion Hypothermia prevention and the rest of the sustainment picture, including what the environment is doing to your patient Moving casualties over distance and rough ground, alone and with a partner Ongoing triage as conditions change, and re-sorting when a second casualty deteriorates A clean handoff to EMS: what responders need from you and how to give it in thirty seconds

Scenario exercises run the full thirty-minute clock and combine both days. You will be making tactical and medical decisions at the same time, tired, hot, and short on hands — which is the point.

What you leave with: a realistic sense of how long thirty minutes is, a working understanding of vehicles as fighting and extraction platforms, and the ability to keep a casualty alive well past the first intervention.
