Dynamic Movement
Utilized when speed is needed to close a distance gap quickly between suspect and Entry Team (Entry Team moves as fast as they can accurately engage a threat) Can be used during barricaded subject operations and warrant services (immediate action drill), but primarily during intervention phase of a hostage rescue incident (would be what we refer to as Hostage Rescue Movement)

Review
Why are we here (what is the mission)? What are the specific objectives we must accomplish? How much of a risk are we willing to take to save those that rely upon us to do so? In relation to tactical movement, is time and distance (reaction time) a concern?
Do Tactics Change ?
For the different types of HR situations given on the previous slide, should we employ different tactics that are tailored to that specific situation?
Do Tactics Change ?
For the different types of HR situations given on the previous slide, should we employ different tactics that are tailored to that specific situation?
The answer is YES !
Diversions During any type of Hostage Rescue, diversions may or may not be an option Keep your tactical mind open and determine if the diversion will provide you with a tactical advantage or not Diversions can come in the form of: LSDD Force build up in one area Ruse Negotiator noise
Discussion
If we know where the hostage taker(s) are with absolute certainty, should we move straight to them? If we know where the hostage(s) are with absolute certainty, should we move straight to them? Does it matter if the hostages / hostage taker(s) are in a different location? Could we possible turn this into a barricade situation if the proper conditions exist? Should operators be designated to be responsible for a certain room as opposed to just flowing through the structure?
Objectives
The safe release of all hostages Safeguarding all third parties Maximize safety to operators while still achieving the previous two objectives Neutralization of the hostage taker(s)
HR Movement Slide #1
The first team is about ready to enter one room of the structure and is proceeding down a hall way to their designated room. The second team is proceeding to the second room.
HR Movement Slide #2
Team #1 proceeds into their designated room.
First operator in the door clears room as he enters and turns to the greatest unknown corner. Second operator follow in behind him going to the opposite corner. Voice commands are Get down, drop the weapon!
HR Movement Slide #3
Team #1 starts to position themselves for L configuration. Team #1 keeps Hostage Taker and Hostage in sight picture while scanning room. Team #1 maintains 1 to 1 arms distance from wall and does not penetrate farther than half way down each of their respective walls. Team #2 continues on to their assigned room.
HR Movement Slide #4
Team #1 proceeds to move into L shape while maintaining room domination. Voice commands are still being given. Team #2 penetrates into their room. Same verbal commands are given as those given by Team #1. Yellow operator assess and bypasses nonimmediate threat to go to greatest unknown in room (unknown corner). Team #2 Red operator proceeds onto hostage. Red operator will penetrate deep since he is going left and the door is in the center of the wall.
HR Movement Slide #5
Team #1 has by this time neutralized Hostage Taker (surrender or lethal force deployment). (Side note: What if HT turns gun on himself but does not fire?) Team #1 Blue operators calls COVER!, Black operator call CONTACT SUSPECT! Team #2 yellow operator dominates room with side to side cover / engagement. Team #2 red operator pushes hostage to the center of the room and down if still standing / noncompliant.

Bus Takedowns
Bus Takedowns
Bus takedowns are referred to as a tubular assault Most commercial size airliners will fall into the same category Interior tactics for airplane assaults will be similar in nature Bus should be immobilized prior to assault if at all possible. Whatever busses you may have in your area, practice on them and have a plan to disable and defeat entry doors and drivetrains. Be prepared for tinted windows Alternate entry points (rear door / roof hatch / windshield)
QUIET!!!
Bus Takedown
Once the Hostage Taker(s) have been secured each occupant is flex cuffed and removed from the bus Provide medical attention once interior personnel are secured Escort each occupant from the bus individually and do a thorough search
Usually the preferred setting for a Hostage Rescue Scenario may initiate in open air setting or during a transition from mobile to stronghold or visa versa Be prepared for covering tactic with blanket or some other obstruction device As previously stated during last lecture, snipers must have pre-selected targets if more than one hostage taker If possible, direct open air takedown to an area that is most advantageous to operators Various methods may be used depending on the specific situation the team is in

They are merely a guide to follow. Adapt tactics if necessary.
