The Tactical Checklist

The Tactical Checklist

The Tactical Checklist is a generic procedural outline for training, and developing practical tactics. The basic formula for the tactical checklist is as follows;

• Recognize the threat or potential threat (awareness and street smarts)
• Eliminate the initial threat (first things first)
• Eliminate the subsequent threat (finish the job)
• Check
• Control, and maintain control (law enforcement, or if the situation requires, etc…)
• Or Check, and clear (Safe guard and then create distance from the opponent)
• Scan after clearing or while you are exiting (Note: visual awareness should be a constant thing)
• Exit (escape if it is safe, and appropriate to do so)
