No prior formal training is expected, but students must have an AR-15 MSR of their own to participate. The rifle must be equipped with mechanical sights. Optical sights are not used in Carbine Level-0. 

Carbine Rifle: Level-0 provides an entry-level introduction to the AR-15 MSR platform. This course is designed for students who have no previous experience or knowledge in operating the AR-15.
