Last week I spent 4 days teaching two groups of students the basics of domestic hostile environment training. The rules have changed and domestic, US based media needs to be more situationally aware to deal with dangers on the job. Along with Instructor Steve Cook we led the students through several scenarios to make the hands-on training as realistic as possible. Thanks to Carter Adams for these great pics!
