National Asset Shooting Drill
This is actually a qualification course for teams deemed as a "national asset." I picked up this drill during a SWAT competition in Northern California about 15 years ago. I use it often to check my speed and accuracy throughout the years.
For this drill, you will need an AR15 type of rifle (you could really use any modern combat rifle) and a semi-automatic pistol. You will also need to wear your kit including helmet, plate carrier and comms equipment if you have it. The times to shoot are tight.
What you need for this drill:
Shooters will need 1 magazine with 28 rounds (in rifle), 1 magazine with 22 rounds secured in magazine pouch, and 2 targets
all drills start from the low ready

always know the condition of your weapon
highest score possible is 100, 80 points to pass
complete CQB/assault gear will be worn
totals are per man
2 points in the kill zone, 1 point on target, 0 points for miss
