Scenario Drills

Towards the end of each course, the course material is tested in scenario drills conducted in realistic settings to highlight the problems the real world environment imposes on performing techniques outside the training hall. The drills will generally require students to walk a path or perform a specific activity under the supervision of the course instructor who doubles as a safety officer. The course participants are usually divided into a red team and blue team with the blue team members following a loose plan of action or mission and have to adapt and improvise as events unfold. Some red team members will simply be spectators, but of course you don't know who is who.
