Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical lessons can be learned from the New Mexico State University campus shooting incident?

Key lessons include understanding the unique dangers of hallways, the importance of using cover and concealment effectively by not crowding it, and the need to change positions or levels to avoid predictable ambushes.

How should one approach moving through hallways during a tactical situation?

When moving through hallways, especially those with many 'nooks and crannies,' it's vital to understand angles and use cover and concealment strategically. Avoid predictable movements and maintain situational awareness.

What is the significance of 'crowding cover' in tactical scenarios?

Crowding cover means getting too close to your cover point. This limits your field of view and angles, making you more vulnerable. Maintaining distance provides better observation and tactical options.

Why is it important to change levels or positions when assessing a threat?

Changing your position or level (e.g., crouching, moving side-to-side) makes you a less predictable target. It prevents an adversary from easily anticipating your location and setting up an ambush.
