THE LEARNING OUTCOMES  of Tactical Firearms for Bodyguards (normally begin with):

DEFENSIVE TACTICS : TACTICAL FIREARMS FOR BODYGUARDS (structure):

Unit Title (if different from programme) :
1.     Theory, Principles, Safety  (Total number of hours for this unit: 5 hours - Distance Learning through internal course web manager Basecamp);


Learning Outcomes – the learner will understand :

1.1  Laws and Regulations

Assessment Criteria – the learner can  state what is a:

1.1.1   Reasonable Force;
Necessary - Reasonable in Circumstances - Proportional

1.1.2   Deadly Force (Killing Enabling Factors)

 Remsberg (1986) states:

 Survivability for prepared individual:

 

                                                                        75%     mental preparation

                                                                        15%     skill

                                                                        5%       physical ability

                                                                        5%       luck

 

Survivability for unprepared individual:

 

                                                                        5%       mental preparation

1.1.3   Rules of Engagement (Level of force is determined by the assailant! ):

it is the immediate danger presented by the threat that determines the level of response required – mere presence, tactical communication, physical intervention, lethal force.

 

Immediate hot-debriefs after an action scenario is useful to require shooters to account for their decisions. This will help to eliminate the “freeze” mindset of hesitation in the face of conflicting psychological tensions around the use of force, situational awareness and decision-making

 The danger must be immediate to justify use of lethal force. Drills should simulate the transition from immanent to immediate danger.

Situational awareness of the circumstances alongside reality-based scenarios will help to cultivate spontaneous and adaptive responses rather than reflex reaction that is unfocused and dangerous. Drills can be constructed to develop rapid recovery time from the shock of ambush.

Use of lethal force, whilst justified, might not be necessary. Training scenarios that differentiate between circumstances where the balance of restraint is weighed up and decisions are made on the basis of necessity and proportionality and not only on justification. (e.g. You may be justified in shooting a hostage taker but it might not be necessary. This is why SWAT team snipers, even if they have a target, obtain clearance from command structures before taking the shot.)
