• Blackheart International Training

    In support of the broader Blackheart International mission to provide comprehensive logistics and equipment solutions to defense and law enforcement clients, the company operates Blackheart International Training under the Blackheart International umbrella. The primary mission of BHI Training is to provide top-level tactical training to select U.S. military units, security and law enforcement personnel.

    BHI Training courses comprise both classroom instruction and hands-on training covering Non-Standard (former Soviet Bloc) and NATO weapons familiarization, sniper shooting, armorer, hostage rescue, and surveillance detection and avoidance, to name a few of the course offerings. BHI Training also provides tactical law enforcement training  such as defensive pistol, defensive rifle, sniper, SWAT, and qualification training for law enforcement personnel. In addition, the company has developed several civilian security training programs. Some examples include private executive security training for personnel tasked with providing security to high-risk, high-value targets (corporate executives, politicians, diplomats, etc.), carry-concealed weapon certification, and family security/defense programs.

    All courses are managed at Blackheart International Training’s private facilities.

    The company has an expansive outdoor range to conduct live-fire training for everything from defensive pistol and close-quarter battle, to crew-served machine guns.

    For SWAT, hostage extraction and certain other close-quarter training programs, BHI Training has a converted five-story hospital. This facility, with its multiple levels, tight quarters, numerous rooms and hallways, gives students the most realistic training environment possible. To further enhance the realism and provide students with that “extra edge” training component, role-playing (live actors portraying “bad guys”) and simunition (simulated ammunition)  are often used to deliver with real-world combat simulation.

    All Blackheart International Training programs are conducted by former U.S. Army Special Forces personnel who have extensive backgrounds in military special operations, combat, training and law enforcement, and are current subject matter experts in their fields. As a result of their expertise, facilities and regional proximity to Washington, D.C. and northern Virginia, the company is one of the leading tactical training operations in the U.S., and is the leading operation in the eastern U.S. for Non-Standard Weapon (former Soviet-Bloc) training.
