Advanced Tactical Operations

WMD Advanced Tactical Operations

  This course is designed to address technical aspects of planning and implementing a tactical law enforcement response to a WMD incident. As such, it provides detailed technical information through presentations and practical exercises designed to cause tactical strike teams to plan for and implement effective and safe tactical operations in CBRNE environments. The course consists of nine modules taught through a combination of classroom sessions and comprehensive practical exercises. Since most of the exercises are conducted in the field, some or all of the exercises could be conducted at night in order to preclude interference with routines of the civilian population, business activities, and infrastructure operations. Additionally, severe weather conditions may require the use of alternate exercise sites.
 

Course Objectives
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Recall at least three characteristics of CBRNE events.
  • Identify composition, capabilities, and constraints of PPE and response equipment.
  • Demonstrate the proper donning and doffing of Level C PPE.
  • Provide examples and list characteristics of linear targets.
  • Describe tactical strike team techniques and overall tactical considerations for linear targets.
  • Examine vulnerabilities unique to linear targets, specifically, trains, buses, and aircraft.
  • Describe tactical techniques for stopping, blocking, approaching, and clearing linear targets.
  • Demonstrate proper donning and doffing techniques with 100 percent accuracy.
  • Demonstrate required personnel and equipment rotation requirements.
  • Discuss planning tools and tactical preparation procedures for an impending terrorist attack.
  • Develop a response plan and a field visit to a linear target to conduct a site survey.
  • Determine nature of potential hazards presented by suspected components of a device.
  • Develop and present Operations Plan based on evolving situation involving a CBRNE device.
  • Use CoBRA Response Kits and equipment to accomplish requirements in a practical exercise.
  • Develop and present a Warning Order for a suicide bomber in an RDD situation.
  • Develop a response plan, given a suicide bomber RDD scenario.
  • Develop and present an Operations Order for a suicide bomber RDD attack.
  • Conduct interdiction operations consistent with the Operations Order.
  • Demonstrate the appropriate use of force consistent with the threat and department policy.
  • Conduct post-assault actions and activities to include mitigation and suspect control.
  • Conduct an after-action operational critique.

How to tactically engage the threat and mitigate it was most useful. After attending your course, we immediately trained our entire SWAT team on the skill sets we had learned. Just a few months ago, our SWAT team went for more WMD training at a local facility. Almost all of the scenarios required tactical suppression and mitigation. Our team knew exactly how to handle the situation and we received very good scores during training.
