5.11’s ABR (Always Be Ready) Academy classes are making a comeback for 2023 with a new twist – they’ll now include instruction from USCCA, one of the country’s largest concealed carry defense organizations. 5.11 Tactical’s ABR Academy will focus on everything ranging from how to set up tactical and preparedness gear, preparing things like bug out bags, and will also now include topics like trauma care, and self-defense for those who want to learn and always be ready. All of these classes are going to be completely free and will be hosted by certified experts from the industry at participating 5.11 Stores across the nation.

We strive to help our families, friends and communities be prepared for anything to happen,” said 5.11’s CEO, Francisco Morales. “The ABR Academy is designed to help attendees become more equipped for challenges and emergencies by building proper mindsets, readiness skills and gear. It’s all part of living the 5.11 mantra of Always Be Ready.”

“Like 5.11, USCCA also celebrates its 20 th anniversary this year, and similarly, has been at the forefront of providing education and readiness training for communities across the U.S. for several years now,” added Morales. “We’re thrilled to work with them throughout 2023 and look forward to helping more folks learn to Always Be Ready.
