parameters in which the officer operates - CORRECT ANSWER-1.mission
2.tactical application
3.tactical environment
4.tactical requirements
5.most common types of resistance
hfrg design methodology - CORRECT ANSWER-27 years ago a design
methodology of tactical, legal and, medical research was introduced.
legal research - CORRECT ANSWER-the true effectiveness of any system is the
defensibility of the system/technique in a court of law.
reasonable force was based on:
1. was there a need for the application of force
2. was the relationship between the resistance and the level of force proportional
(one plus one theory)
3. was the extent of the subject's injury proportional to the subject's level of
resistance or threat to the officer or another
4. was the force applied on a good faith, based upon the perceptions of a reasonably
trained officer and the objectively reasonable facts the officer had at the time of
incident
medical research - CORRECT ANSWER-the most unique aspect of HFRG training is
the extensive medical research supporting its techniques
mental states in combat - CORRECT ANSWER-combat anxiety- the anticipation of
danger
survival stress- deadly force threat perception that initiates the SNS discharge
(sympathetic nervous system)
combat stress- deals with the post event mental & physiological symptoms that are a
result of the SNS activation and the sudden return to the PNS (parasympathetic
nervous system) known as the PNS backlash, may distort memory
autonomic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER-the organs of our body, such as
the heart, stomach, and intestines are regulated by. Part of the peripheral nervous
system, and controls many organs and muscles in the body involuntarily.
divided into PNS and SNS
Inverted U law - CORRECT ANSWER-relationship between stress and performance
associated with activation of SNS
, balance between fight or flight/ rest and digest is called homeostasis
SNS triggers - CORRECT ANSWER-objective threat perceptions- fact that the threat
is within close proximity, minimal time to control threat, person not confident with
abilities, or new experience
objective fear perceptions- having fear of death, injury, killing, incorrect decision
making, failure, or fear itself
physical exhaustion- caused by depletion of ATP fuel system or inadequate nutrition,
can activate SNS
force can escalate due to exhaustion
startle response- anthropologists believe early man was a scavenger and not a
predator, early man would have been hunted
physiological changes caused by SNS activation - CORRECT ANSWER-adrenal
activity- adrenal glands are two small structures situated on top of the kidneys. Both
in anatomy and function they consist of two distinct regions.
adrenal cortex (outer layer). adrenal medulla (seperate endocrine gland). adrenal
cortex has 3 zones (produce own hormones) but nerves are connected to SNS and
are involved with the fight or flight response. hormones produced are epinephrine
and nor-epinephrine
vascular activity- a second set of changes occurs in the blood vessels, particularly
vasoconstriction.
perceptual narrowing- each of the perceptual senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste,
touch as well as "sixth sense") provides info to brain. brain will tune in to sense with
the most relevant information. all others are tuned out as they lack immediate
significance. once exposed to survival stress, humans become binocular (use of both
eyes to process information). This occurs as a survival requirement to receive more
light and information.
vision- when peripheral narrowing occurs, 70% of vision is lost (spotlight or tunnel
vision)
sight alignment- the role of the visual system on accuracy has generated
considerable debate. The weaver camp places considerable emphasis on using the
front sights and targeting with the dominant eye.
motor skill classicfications - CORRECT ANSWER-there are 3 basic motor skill
classifications
1. fine
2.tactical application
3.tactical environment
