NVG Courses.

BLUF:

Our NVG courses focus on the deployment of “next level” nighttime assistive devices: night vision googles (NVGs). These allow the user to operate in low-light environments with little to no possibility of detection by an opponent. There are multiple types of NVGs and our courses will generally focus on the deployment of one type of NVG. Disadvantages are primarily cost as NVGs are “not cheap”.
