NIGHT FIGHTER 201: GREAT FALLS, MT (2025 DATES IN DROP-DOWN)

TNVC is excited to announce our intentions to run our Nightfighter 201 course again for 2025 in Great Falls, Montana.  Nightfighter 201 is a continuation of Nightfighter 101 and picks up where the 101 class leaves off.

We want to continue to teach the Nightfighter 201 class to the Rocky Mountains and Northwest area.  We are extremely excited to work with the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office and the Great Falls Police Department to bring this class to the region.

Night Fighter 201 Course Description:

Nightfighter 201 is a class for active duty Military, Law Enforcement, Security Personnel, and Nightfighter 101 Graduates (contact [email protected] for vetting requirements).  You must meet the pre-requisites, listed below, to attend this course.

Export of Night Vision Equipment or related accessories (such as manuals) is strictly regulated by the US Department of State in accordance with the guidelines of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). It is a major crime to ship or carry US manufactured night vision devices outside the borders of the United States, punishable by fines and prison sentences. Ignorance of these regulations will not hold up in court. By purchasing night vision equipment from TNVC, you attest that you will not attempt to export or carry this night vision equipment outside the borders of the United States. Also, it illegal to allow a non-US Citizen to look through US Gen3 Night Vision Devices, even on US soil. Again, this is a crime punishable by fines and prison sentences.
