Tactical maritime operations training
Tactical operations are completely different when they take place in a maritime environment. In our VBSS course, we cover the essentials for maritime operations and ensure that your team has a common understanding of how to execute a successful mission in what can often be an unforgiving environment.
This training was developed by Tomahawk team members with years of experience in Naval Special Warfare, the world’s premier maritime interdiction force.
The Tomahawk team takes a pragmatic approach to your unit’s VBSS training, considering your operating environment, likely target vessels, unit and personal equipment, and asset availability.

The goal of this course is to give your tactical team the tools and understanding to enable mission success in a maritime environment, using risk mitigation and de-escalation when possible, to keep officers and the civilian population that they serve safe. We discuss procedures unique to maritime operations, including:
- Establishing and refining your VBSS standard operating procedures.
- Tactics, techniques, and procedures of tactical vessel approach, boarding, and follow-on movement utilizing boat or rotary-wing assets, or both.
- Procedures for bridge control, marshaling, and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC).
- Breaching considerations, post-assault procedures, and unit and personal equipment considerations.
