Company Officer Development
Give current and future company officers opportunities to practice initial command.

For Departments & Training Officers
Supplement classroom, tabletop, company, and live-fire training with repeatable command practice that does not require taking apparatus out of service.
See Department UsesThe training challenge
Working fires cannot be scheduled. Live exercises require personnel, apparatus, evaluators, facilities, and preparation. Classroom instruction teaches essential knowledge, but officers still need opportunities to apply it.
ComTac helps departments create those repetitions without replacing the training they already value.
“I can run a realistic command simulation from my office without taking companies out of service or coordinating a large training exercise. It gives me meaningful fireground command repetitions whenever I have the time.”
Use ComTac for
Give current and future company officers opportunities to practice initial command.
Practice resource deployment, command organization, communication, and reassessment.
Move candidates beyond memorization and into practical application.
Use simulations before, during, or after classroom instruction.
Provide private practice for specific performance gaps without making development punitive.
Help experienced officers maintain recognition, communication, and decision-making skills.
A simple department model
Select the officer group, command competency, or training objective.
Individuals complete command repetitions on a schedule that fits operations.
Use evaluations, recordings, and facilitated discussion to reinforce learning.
Continue building competency over time rather than treating command as a one-time class.
For new and current officers
“This was very challenging. I learned a lot about what this process is. It will be good for new officers and continuing education for current officers to keep knocking the rust off.”
Use ComTac to complement classroom instruction, tabletop exercises, hands-on drills, live-fire training, and operational experience.
