 Mobile Environment Passenger abduction and hostage taking are tactics commonly used by terrorists and hardcore criminals. The inside of a hijacked bus, train or airplane is one of the most challenging environments in which a force can be called upon to operate. A combination of thin metal walls, extremely crowded lines of fire, difficult approach and the possibility of sudden location change are just a few of the volatile conditions that make mobile environment hostage rescue a complex task. Conducting a successful hostage rescue operation requires specific preparation and training. Standard tactics used in the non-mobile environment do not apply. Many teams are still using tubular assault tactics that might work when used against a single hostage taker but will fail when applied against a dedicated group of trained terrorists. In order to succeed, the rescue assault must be executed swiftly. Using realistic training scenarios, operators are taught to strike with surprise and precision in order to minimize casualties. Through the use of our innovative simulation and live fire drills, we prepare teams to quickly and safely resolve a hostage crisis in the mobile environment.
