TOPIC: Situational Training Considerations.
DISCUSSION: Units will encounter situations for which they normally do not train. These situations will present challenges to the leaders and generate confusion and stress for soldiers.
LESSON(s):
- Develop situational training exercises to prepare soldiers for unexpected problems and dilemmas.
- The unit commander must prepare the proper responses for their soldiers. These responses are a method to express the commander's intent for the operation.
- Turn
the responses into battle drills so that the unexpected situations become routine
operations for the soldier.
Some examples are:
- Receive appeal for medical assistance.
- Civilian criminal is apprehended.
- Crowd mobs food distribution truck or center.
- Land mine is discovered.
- Sniper fires.
- Dead body is found.
- UN relief worker asks for transportation on military vehicle(s).
- A soldier is taken hostage or kidnapped.
- Convoy encounters a belligerent checkpoint.
