MACP has levels I through IV, as far as I know and have been able to find, although I heard a Level V had been made.
Does SOCP have levels like that, or a different system, or what? I assumed it had levels, but I'm having a hard time finding information on it. It seems that it's more of a supplement to MACP. Is that correct?

This is research for a novel.

MACP actually has three levels now. They switched about 5 years ago, I think. If I remember correctly SOCP has three levels.

MACP has 3 levels now SOCP has 2
Info on SOCP is very hard to find. I think Tim Kennedy would be a good person to contact regarding SOCP or Gregory Thompson

SOCP is all oriented towards room clearing and how to neutralize a threat that grabs u, won’t back up, needs to be cuffed, if they take u to the ground. Basically anything that can go wrong when room clearing and getting back to your tools

They're different.
MACP is more grappling and staying close so you can survive. SOCP is more about making space to draw your weapon and/or you buddy can get a shot off.

I understood that the higher levels of MACP covered the more tactical stuff, but I never even got certified in MACP Level I.
