Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Team Box Drill and what skills does it develop?

The Team Box Drill is a tactical firearms training exercise for two-person teams. It develops skills in shooting and moving, effective communication, covering sectors of fire, executing reloads under pressure, and clearing malfunctions, all within a simulated high-stress environment.
