The Reality of Vehicle-Based Threats
Most deadly force encounters in law enforcement involve a vehicle at some point. Whether it is a traffic stop that escalates, a pursuit that ends badly, or a suspect using a vehicle as a weapon — the vehicle is part of the threat environment in a way that most training programs do not address seriously.
Vehicle CQB — close quarters battle from, around, and involving vehicles — is the discipline that fills that gap. It teaches officers and civilians how to identify mobile threats, respond effectively, and neutralize them with the vehicle as both cover and a factor in the scenario.
What Vehicle CQB Training Actually Covers
At The Benjamin Guard, our Vehicle CQB course — Mobile Threat Interdiction — covers the full spectrum of vehicle-based engagements. Students learn to work from inside a vehicle, move around vehicles under fire, use vehicles as cover and concealment, and engage threats in and around multiple vehicle configurations.
The Dynamic Bay at TBG is built for this work. At 150 yards deep and 100 yards wide, with a 60-person simultaneous capacity and actual vehicles, fuselages, and buses on the range, the infrastructure matches the training requirement.
Who Needs This Training
Law enforcement officers are the obvious answer — but the reality is that anyone who operates a vehicle in a potentially threatening environment benefits from understanding vehicle-based threat dynamics. Private security professionals, armed civilians in high-risk occupations, and military personnel transitioning to civilian careers all have legitimate training needs that Vehicle CQB addresses.
The TBG Approach
Our Vehicle CQB course is two days, 20-seat maximum, minimum 6 students. It is TCOLE accredited for law enforcement credit. The course is built on real-world doctrine from law enforcement and military vehicle interdiction programs — not range games or competition shooting formats.
The next course runs in June 2026. Seats are $650. There are 20 of them. When they are gone, they are gone.
