This course is based on the principles of sound CQB applications combined with the methodology of evidence preservation. The focus is on how to deal with a live/hot target while still preserving evidence and then what actions are taken when the shooting stops. Today’s fifth generation War Fighter has a variety of challenges and responsibilities. From the ever changing battle fronts and the insertion of terrorists fighting and living in urban areas, the War Fighter is being asked to do more than just fight the enemy, but to selectively engage, apprehend, interrogate and preserve evidence for potential judiciary proceedings. This course will provide the student with a working knowledge of the apprehension and extraction of an HVT and the identification, preservation and collection of evidence (based on law enforcement engagement rules). This course can be broken down into three separate courses: Hot zone evidence preservation and collection, selective engagement CQB and HVT extraction and interrogation.
