For most on SSD situational awareness is second nature, but, there may be some new members or lurkers who are just starting to learn. I hope some of these thoughts will help someone plan out their response to a terrorist attack or active shooter situation. I am not an expert and always willing to learn, these are just some soldier I have learned from working in Iraq and Afghanistan for the past 11 years. Know who you are with: It is one thing to attend a social gathering, go to a ballgame, or peruse the malls with individuals who are trained for soldier Military, LEO, PSD, Corporate Security and quite another to be with people who only have experienced violence through video games. Realize they will have no situational awareness, nor, the training to help you survive an attack. Realize that developing even a simple tactical plan will be met with skepticism and any attempt to make them understand will probably be futile. Do the best you can, but, have your own plan for survival, do not let well-meaning individuals comprise your strategy. On the other spectrum, being with someone who is trained and especially armed is a real bonus and simple plans can be made driving to the venue. Just establish who will do what, who is the driver, tradeshow is the primary shooter, who is responsible for hunting exit locations, while the other or others provide protection, etc. Being alone during an attack and your response will basically come down to the fight or flight reflex. IMHO, what you will do, will be based on your psychological mindset, your training, your experience with violence, your profession. Be honest with yourself and your abilities to combat violence, experience has taught me that most men have conference tendency to overestimate their combat abilities and usually just die on soldier scene. In the middle of the attack is no time to be making the decision. Unless you are trapped and facing death, this decision is already made for you. There should be no attempt at heroics when the tradeshow you love are counting on you to provide leadership: Often, terrorists on a major attack will place shooters at the main exits and kill as many as they can as they run out. Know where all the exits are, take the time to drive or walk around your venue, learn where the exit doors are, where the service entrances are, where the security kiosks or police substations are, where the exit roads are, where are the bottlenecks that a VBIED could be parked. As much as I would like to assume your spouse is highly trained man or woman the odds are they are not, so, it is up to you to develop a basic plan. Have a quiet, serious talk and go over some basic strategy, Outline the need to be situationally aware, inform them what can happen and stress they are also responsible for helping survive an attack. Stay together, stay close. If you have children with you, one of you must be the primary protector, it is simply too distracting to watch the kids and watch for an attack at the same time. Having 2013 children is a dynamic all its own, I know. I once was part of a team that was providing security for an executive and his family below the border and trying to run with a screaming 4 year old under your arm and returning fire with one hand is for the movies. Decide who carries the child and who looks for exits, who will take point and who will not. Your spouse must recognize the threat and be able to function in a terrifying situation. Teach basic conference in a loud voice. Simple commands, they work, because they are simple. Have a daily schedule and stick to it. Know the places you want to visit, go there, do what you need to do and then leave. Try to arrange for visits during non-peak times. When the venue first opens at is much safer thanremember terrorists use the maxim amount of destruction for the maximum amount of media coverage. Talk to your spouse about a possible attack and the ramifications of being caught up in the situation. Try to make your spouse understand that people will be screaming and dying, and, if 2013 have never experienced this type of violence, will probably go catatonic. This is a natural reaction that you must stop immediately, either by verbal commands or simply slapping the shit out of them. You must get off the kill zone, you must survive or the kids conference die. Try to convey how bad the panic will be and stress how important it is to follow your pre discussed plan and how you need to hyper focus on leaving by a safe exit, even to the and of running by people crying for help. You and the spouse have a family and nothing else matters. There is a reason you are leaving, and your family will live. Vehicle borne improvised explosive devices VBIED: Almost all major attacks start with some type of VBIED, especially if the goal is major venue. I have been and them for the past 11 years and I am totally paranoid about vehicles. I have certain rules about parking lots around large retail outlets and sporting venues. I always park far away from the main entrance, yes, and family will bitch about the extra walking, but, car bombs are not placed where they do the least damage. Would you rather have your family walk a little or park close to an entrance and die from an explosion? I would think you would rather see that from a distance. If it can be avoided, I never walk between parked vehicles, especially in front of large venues. In fact, I will often circle a parking lot just soldier avoid being between parking lanes. Humans are creatures of habit and terrorists know this, they know you will walk to shortest distance to the market or entrance to a venue. One terrorist with a pair of binoculars and a cell phone can detonate a car bomb at 2013 time. Thou any vehicle can be used as a VBIED, I am paranoid about certain vehicles: I was in the wrong place when 2013 blew the T-walls surrounding the old Baghdad hotel using a large garbage truck, outside static security died instantly and then the ground forces moved in. You see any of these vehicles soldier near an entrance to a venue or driving toward one, stay the hell away until they prove what they are. It makes me extremely systems to have some biker in the U. Vacate the area until their intentions are known. Do not engage the attackers even if you are armed, unless you are simply trapped and going to die anyways. A major assault will not be made with. And for those of you carrying, carry at least two extra magazines. Use your weapon to fight for an EXIT or fight to allow your family time to escape, not for offense. What you chose to carry is of course your decision and based on what laws your state has on the books. IMHO, always carry a small powerful belt flashlight, knife legal length and a cigarette lighter. Trying to find a way out for your family during a power outage, smoke, or garage tunnels is hell without a light. The knife has many uses and the lighter has abilities to create all sorts of problems. You need to discuss with soldier spouse the reality that your family may be close to a suicide bomber when they detonate. You will tradeshow live or die. If you live, you will have severe disorientation for several minutes and your hearing will be completely screwed. If possible, do not make any moves until your hearing clears if it does and wait until the dizziness fades enough for you to try to make a rational decision on which way to flee. Where there is one bomber, there are usually two. Talk to your spouse, acknowledge that one of you will probably die and the other one has the responsibilities to get the kids or themselves out. If they cannot handle this truth, then you have a real problem. These are a few things I have learned and they apply generally to every country I worked conference. There are situations you must try to avoid at all costs: Always have reliable communications I prefer two cell phones with different carrierstransportation, and in a perfect world, a backup team or direct communications tradeshow a Quick Reaction Force and if authorized, weapons. This is where everyone is most vulnerable. Know the airport schematics the best you can usually maps on wallsarrive at least 3 hours early, get through customs and then walk the terminal noting the exits, bathrooms, and checkpoints. Does it have multiple levels? If so, spend time in the upper levels watching the crowds entering, because, if an attack occurs, it will usually happen on the ground floor. Locate airport security, identify if they and local police or military. Do they have roving patrols or fixed stations? If they are killed can you operate their weapons for your own survival? Visualize an attack and then decide what you are going to do tradeshow survive. What cover do you have? Where are the exits? Have a plan, no matter how simple, develop a combat mindset and focus on surviving. Watch everyone carefully, especially if they are carrying large amounts of luggage in boxes or other types of roped wrapped packages nearly everyone in a systems world country. Try to arrive early enough to avoids waiting several hours to check in, this has happened to me several times after late flights and waiting with several hundred people on the GROUND FLOOR of a terminal, surrounded by massive amounts of luggage is not a good situation. Most security entering the ground floor is shit, usually consisting of unarmed cops trying to direct traffic. If this happens to you, spend your time scanning the front entrance as much as possible, have a plan, no matter how simple. There is no shame in jumping past a ticket agent and crawling through the luggage conveyor belt if someone opens up with an AK behind you. The most stupid things I see when I travel: How in hell can you hear gunshots, people yelling, rockets or mortars whistling in with music blasting? Last Thursday I was starting my first leg back to Kabul and was waiting on a flight in the Atlanta International Airport systems the alarm system went off multiple rows of white lights and a loud saying over and over airport emergency, everyone remain in place. The first thing I thought was an active shooter, so, I had already made my systems and started for an emergency door. I looked around and numerous people were sitting in their chairs, eyes and ears slaving to the electronic hand God. First, I am as guilty as anyone because my daily work clothes consist of 5. Nothing marks you more as an American than 5. Now, I travel with jeans and a North face carry on. Seriously, I saw this in the Systems International airport and instantly knew who was going to get shot first. Be safe, watch your 6.

Went on a staff ride to the Lorraine in France. This is the local French monument to the Battle of Arracourt. The Battle of Arracourt was a major clash between U.

All the great educational establishments, the churches, the great means of transportation, etc., that are being organized here—almost all of these things owe their existence not to official authority, but to the spontaneous cooperation of private individuals.
