About DCM

DCM Consulting is a veteran-founded training and advisory company focused on firearms instruction, tactical consulting, and leadership development. Established by Christopher “Dutch” Moyer — a retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major with 31 years of service, including 26 within U.S. Army Special Operations Command — DCM is built on real-world experience and a proven, purpose-driven training methodology.

DCM provides training programs for responsibly armed civilians, law enforcement agencies, and military clients. Core offerings include rifle and pistol instruction, CQB training, and K9 integration. For military and law enforcement teams, DCM offers tailored solutions to meet specific operational requirements, including SOP/TTP development and specialty consulting — often delivered in coordination with trusted partners.

Our ethos is simple: My sword is your shield. At DCM, we believe in training not for ego, but for duty. Every rep, every round, and every drill is in service of those we protect. Whether on the battlefield, in a patrol car, or defending your home, excellence begins with a complete understanding and mastery of the basics.

Our Courses Explained

We divide our courses into two categories:

GUNFIGHTER SERIES (civilians)

The Gunfighter Series is DCM Consulting’s progressive training track for responsible armed civilians who take their preparedness seriously. Open enrollment and skill-building focused, this series is designed to evolve with the student — from foundational marksmanship to advanced gunfighting concepts.

Courses like The Gunfighter Awakens, Evolutionary Gunfighter, Time of the Gunfighter, and Evolutionary Low Light emphasize capability, judgment, and performance under pressure — including EDC principles and low-light engagement.

Primarily hosted at The Sawmill Training Complex, this series reflects our commitment to equipping everyday citizens with real-world tools and mindset — not just for the range, but for life.

WARFIGHTER SERIES (military/LEO)

The Warfighter Course Series is DCM Consulting’s premier training lineup — built exclusively for military, law enforcement, and tactical professionals. These aren’t entry-level courses. They’re immersive, pressure-tested programs designed to sharpen operational performance in the environments where it matters most.

From Close Quarters Battle (CQB) and Vehicle Dynamics to team-based problem-solving and leadership under stress, each course is rooted in real-world experience and delivered by instructors who have walked the walk.

Owner & Operator

       

Dutch Chris Moyer (Owner & Operator) | Sergeant Major, U.S. Army Special Operations Command (Retired) 

DCM Consulting is led by Christopher “Dutch” Moyer, who served 31 years in the United States Army, with 26 years assigned to U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Dutch began his career in 1981 as an Armor Crewman, maintained affiliation with 19th Special Forces Group during a brief break in service, and rejoined in 1991 as an Infantryman in the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. From there, he progressed through increasingly senior leadership roles across the special operations community.

His operational background includes over 1,000 successful combat assaults in both classified and unclassified missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has planned and executed small unit tactics in support of Unconventional Warfare, Special Reconnaissance, Foreign Internal Defense, and Direct Action missions. Dutch has trained Task Force partners such as the FBI HRT, Ranger Regiment, SAS, SASR, KSK, FSK, JTF2, and U.S. Border Patrol, as well as indigenous and federal forces from Colombia, Thailand, Egypt, Kuwait, and Iraq.

He served as a K9 Program Manager for USSOCOM and has instructed K9 teams from the U.S., United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, and Norway. His roles have included Infantryman, Team Leader, Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, K9 Handler, Operator, Task Force Liaison Officer, and Operations Sergeant Major.

Dutch’s foundation is not just in action but in instruction. He holds qualifications from the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy and a host of advanced military schools, including Ranger, SERE-C, Military Freefall, Pathfinder, Jumpmaster, Jungle Warfare, Sniper, Canine Handling, and more.

DCM’s training reflects Dutch’s core belief: that true mastery is born from total commitment to the fundamentals. Leadership is earned through responsibility, and skill is forged through disciplined, repeated application. Every course we offer is driven by this principle — building confidence, capability, and character in those who answer the call to protect others.
