Light Fighter Course, 28 February - 2 March 2025, Georgia

Join us at AGI in Cusseta, Georgia from 28 February - 2 March 2025, for an immersive 3-day Light Fighter Course that equips participants with skills to operate in a challenging environment using the FFEF (Find, Fix, Exploit, Finish) approach. Participants will learn to conduct reconnaissance, exploit vulnerabilities, and execute missions using COTS hardware and software.

The course emphasizes secure communication, drone reconnaissance, target interdiction, and payload deployment. Participants will conduct hands-on practicals as an individual and as a small team, including a culminating exercise that requires teamwork, communication, and effective use of COTS equipment to succeed. Participants must have attended a Precision Rifle Course prior to this course.

Take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your capabilities and broaden your skill set for yourself and your community.
