That can be dangerous, I could be full of shit. Or my shit could be out of date. But, thank you for the compliment.
I'm just the LE finance wonk that happens to work for the retirement farm for many tier-1 units (.mil or LE). I've been shown how to assault a trench network by JTF... but cannot confirm if he was just showing me cool shit, or the real shit. It makes sense, and it's amazing how much the high-speed shit is just actually some dedicated time to looking at it, figuring it out and a crap-ton of common sense. I have found some HSLD guys do shit because it looks cool, you -need- an ego the size of a mountain to have the willpower to deal with some of the shit they have to deal with.
Then stuff ages, look at the high-low method of cornering for movement for SWAT. That shit is aged; you try that in a mil environment and you're screwed if they got a PKM setup in an internal hallway.
Then you can over think it. I was taught goose the guy, then you're not pinching the funny bone, or causing him to jump (maybe squeeze the trigger). Who knows if that might ever happen? But they thought around it, is it neccesary... maybe.
That's the whole thing about my "What Model are you working under" thread, I have gotten into a discussion with a HSLD Tier-1 SOF trooper, a senior NCO "regular army" trooper, a HRT/Tactical/Swat LE trooper, and a regular army turned PMC . The HSLD guy was fully willing to be comfortable with the stack having safeties off, everyone was -that- trained and responsible, where the NCO didn't trust some of his troopers to un-wrap a chocolate bar safely. The HRT LE trooper based tactics on shock-&-awe against a very small number of hostiles, massive overwhelming force; The NCO knew how to call in reinforcements; the PMC knew his ass was swinging in the wind... They all used different TTPs. And, the HSLD, NCO, & PMC all were operating in the same AO.
