LONE OPERATOR EXPENDABLES

For Those Who Are Unable To Do A Basic Fitness Test

Be Your Own First Responder!

The Lone Operator Expendables program is designed to take you on a 6-month journey, teaching you to become self-reliant and prepared in protecting yourself, your family and your community from violent attacks and disasters and is aimed at people who are unable to pass the basic fitness test or who are suffering from injury / disabled for some reason but still want to learn how to defend yourself.

NOTE: You will learn everything that the full Lone Operator Course teaches minus the fitness and some of the tactical shooting exercises. This because we cannot teach you full tactical techniques if your physical condition hinders you to manouever into certain positions. Therefore, make doubly sure that you are on this program because you are physically restricted to do certain body movements, like rolling, kneeling, down and up on the back and the front, sprinting etc.

DISCLAIMER : This is NOT a job offer, nor does this course count towards getting you a job as a PSD anywhere in the world. This is a fresh approach to training in South Africa – for anyone who wants more from training and improving themselves. Please do NOT send cv’s. We will just bin them.

Chief Instructor LEO PRINSLOO

South Africa, 2021. One of the most violent countries in the world. Every day men and women are being attacked in their homes and communities at an increasingly alarming rate.

We live in a violent time and you need to know how to protect yourself, your loved ones, your property and your community. Defending yourself and your family from violent attacks is critical.

Civil unrest is a long-standing reality in South Africa and economic and political turmoil will lead to higher levels of anarchy and crime.

And it will only get worse.

You need to be able to defend yourself, your family and your property if you want to keep living in SA.

FACT: 1.3 MILLION HOUSE ROBBERIES PER YEAR

In general, the person who has the means, access and opportunity to commit a crime will. In South Africa it does not just stop at house robbery, our recent history shows that mob rule and the level of violence that accompanies it is out of control.  You are on your own…

How can you protect yourself and your family in this dangerous environment?

To stay alive against this requires more than just training, more than just mindset, more than only kit. It requires something more – it requires Operators.

WHAT OUR OPERATORS SAY

Watch What Our Lone Operators Say

What we are looking for?

We are looking for people willing to commit to a 6-month time frame of training. Someone committed to learning.

This course is for people who are not afraid to push themselves mentally. Stress inoculation is present at all sessions. Understand what this is about.  When under attack, you are under stress, and the Lone Operator course is going to empower you to handle that stress.

This is not for fun shooters. This is not a sport shooting event. The whole course is aimed at self-preservation.

You have to be able to be self-reliant and train on your own in between sessions.

Our Instructors

At the head of training of Lone Operator is Leo Prinsloo, former SA Police Task Force member and owner of The Edge Training Academy. Fortis will expose you to a variety of the best instructors in South Africa to ensure you get the best instruction.

Training is focused on defending the self, using all weapon platforms and more.

You will cover and practice some of the following topics:

  • Firearm fundamentals
  • Handgun tactical shooting
  • Close quarter battle tactics
  • Team Tactics
  • Tactical Medical
  • Disaster Preparedness
  • Night Shooting
  • Mental fitness and more.

The curriculum is developed to make you your own first responder in an emergency life-threatening situation.

Now Also Included: Home Defense Video

People ask WHY do we do this? Simply because we’ve had enough of being pushed around as citizens in our own country. We need more people who can fight back against crime. 

To apply you will need to own your own, licensed handgun.

Fortis is a registered dealer with most suppliers and should any kit be required, it can be acquired through us at a discounted rate.

No contract, no obligation, you can cancel at any time. The only rule is – dropping out at any time means you will have to start at the beginning again. Do not expect a military-type boot camp scenario where instructors shout military-style commands at you.

Do expect professional instructors with legit backgrounds teaching you in a professional manner. We are looking for self-motivated, driven individuals with a hunger to learn.

You will then be provided with an info pack whereupon the program will be unfolded.

You can also buy an ifak from us on the course. Then you will need the normal eyes, ears, hat, sunscreen and range clothing. That means closed shoes.

But most of all you have free access to select other sessions/modules/courses – for free.

What clothes should I wear?

Range clothes. Pants, shirt, closed shoes. Remember we are shooting from different positions so your clothes must be able to handle dirt and wear and tear. A hat and shooting glasses are good. We do have shooting glasses and ear muffs you can use on the range if you don’t have your own, or you can buy from us. Sunblock can help.

What about range fees?

Included in your monthly payment is your main session’s range fee. Any other sessions you attend you will need to pay the range fee on the day in cash.

You must supply your own ammo. As a Fortis Member, you can check with our vendors for specials. Or you can buy ammo from some of the instructors – NB – this ammo cannot be taken home and has to be used on the range as per law.

You can work on 100 rounds per session – sometimes 150 sometimes 50 – average it out on 100 rounds per session

On which days do training take place?

The program runs over a 6 month period – with 1 Saturday session per month as the base. You are allowed to join other modules from other groups on other Saturdays as well (only having to pay the range fees on those sessions). This means you can do more than 1 course per month for the same R850 monthly fee.

The Saturdays are pre-determined and a program is handed out when you sign up so you will have the year program in advance so that you can plan.

You can catch up a session with another group if there is another group nearby that does the same session.

Payment is made on a monthly basis irrespective of whether you miss the session or not, payment is due, you will then have to catch up on missed sessions with other groups as stated above.
