These scenarios occur on humanitarian missions not authorizing deadly force, Village Stability Operations (VSO) type missions that require operators to intermix in close proximity with locals, and Close Quarters Battle (CQB) when the aggressor is able to close the distance before being engaged or when controlling belligerent non-combatants. Learning to effectively and efficiently manipulate the human body provides all Special Tactics personnel with force protection skills and gives our operators options in the force continuum between verbal commands and lethal force (and the training to determine when it is appropriate to employ these options).

1.3. Experience and Disciplines. Instructor Staff must have experience in at least three (3) combative disciplines to include but not limited to (boxing, wrestling, MMA, Judo, Jui Jitsu, military combative, Karate, or knife fighting).
