Tactical Ops Ready

Tactical Ops Ready is a study app for tactical operations fundamentals — built the way a reference should be built: every lesson and every exam question carries the publication it came from.

Thirteen subjects take you from the individual team member through squad and platoon movement, room clearing and urban operations, force protection, security and executive protection, communications, land navigation, weapons safety, reconnaissance, rules of engagement and the law of war, and infiltration and exfiltration.

IMPORTANT
Tactical Ops Ready is an educational study aid. It is not operational guidance, not a rules-of-engagement authority, and not a substitute for accredited instruction, qualified supervision, or your unit or agency policy. Nothing in it authorizes any action. Doctrine is revised over time — always verify against the current published source and the policies that govern you.
