Established in 1999, the Counterdrug Training Center at Camp Blanding, Florida (now known as the MCTFT Tactical Branch) is a highly sought after training destination for more than 1,000 law enforcement professionals every year. MCTFT Tactical provides expert instruction in: Land Navigation, Movement Techniques, Mission Planning, Tactical Tracking/Counter-Tracking, Booby Trap Recognition, Field Medical Training, Maritime Operations, Weapon Marksmanship and other required skills.
The MCTFT Tactical campus includes two 40-seat classrooms, one 20-seat classroom, a conference room, a tactical indoor training facility, a world-class obstacle course with outdoor classroom, a fitness facility, and billets for up to 60 students. This campus also has a dedicated 100-acre wooded training area and classroom used for tactical law enforcement training in a rural environment. Because the Academy is located at the Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, students can take advantage of the wide variety of exceptional training venues including the state of the art Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) Site and several automated firing ranges. This prime location, coupled with the highly skilled cadre, make the MCTFT Tactical Campus a vital partner to the fight against drugs in Florida.
The MCTFT Tactical Campus is operated by a unique team of Soldiers with skill sets ranging from Military Police to Special Forces, and two active part time law enforcement officers. Our Instructors are also certified law enforcement instructors by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Their mission is to provide relevant effective training to law enforcement agencies on emerging tactics, techniques and procedures used by drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) and gangs for the infiltration, production and distribution of illegal drugs.
The Tactical Campus also employs military specific skills to identify, create curriculum, and offer training to federal, state, and local agencies on emerging drug related threats and methods to counter the drug demand in our communities.
