The Center for Security Forces has announced changes to the Navy's Non-Compliant Boarding Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) Course. The most significant change to the course includes inserting nearly a full day dedicated to small arms dry fire training using the small arms weapons simulator to improve weapons handling mastery. Students use the M9 service pistol and the M4 service rifle. Another addition to the VBSS training is expanded combat first aid training. Students perform a series of drills under the direction of a qualified instructor. The Center for Security Forces has 14 training locations spread across the United States and around the world.
