3 Exercises You Can Run With Trango's Shoot House Kit

A modular shoot house is a collapsible, portable, and customizable structure that simulates combat scenarios in real-world buildings. It’s used to train soldiers on their situational awareness and how to use firearms and other gear with maximum efficiency.

Trango’s meticulously designs their modular structures, like the Shoot House Expert Kit, to offer as much flexibility in recreating specific environments as possible. Building structures can vary widely depending on the region soldiers are deployed to, so it’s wise to be prepared for multiple layouts.

Situational awareness is the ability to view one’s surroundings and interpret them correctly. Strong awareness leads to better decision-making, which can have a big impact on the outcome of a mission.

Trango System’s CTT solutions improve situational awareness in several ways. First, review building layouts pertinent to your mission and set up a shoot house in accordance with it. Soldiers can also train with just a few enemy combatant props or dozens if need be.

Second, station some of your soldiers throughout your mock city without using live weapons, of course. Then it’s time for the soldiers in training to locate and neutralize their mock enemies without getting “killed.” This is wise practice for the unpredictability of real-world scenarios, which can change in seconds.

Every military unit should have multiple soldiers capable of shooting from multiple angles in order to engage fast-moving targets that may have access to equal or greater firepower. Such offensive capability is particularly challenging in urban and uneven environments, where enemy observation and decision-making are compromised.

Trango’s CQB Expert Kit supports multi-angle firing drills. Survey the landscape that your unit is stationed in and replicate it with more than one Trango training wall.

Set up targets at varying distances, heights, angles, and with various obstructions. Give each of your soldiers a chance to practice firing, and offer an incentive for the soldier who has the most accurate fire by the end of the drill.

Your soldiers need to be able to move efficiently and quickly when combat rears its head. This is especially challenging in urban environments, where navigation is complicated by uneven pavement and the ever-present threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

Trango’s True-to-Life Training Accessories and training walls add real-life complexity to your unit’s combat training sessions. Without knowing what it’s like to expertly navigate tight quarters while improving firing accuracy, your soldiers are at the mercy of enemies more skilled than them.

Arrange a few Trango vehicle training targets, which come in both 2D and 3D varieties so your unit experiences the challenges of operating around and over them. Your soldiers can also shoot either at or from these training walls and vehicle accessories to prepare themselves for limited visibility scenarios.
