Has there ever been a discussion or thread here on the specific differences between training and objectives for civilians, law enforcers and the military?
If not, how about doing one?
I'll make the first stab at it.
Civilians are not expected, or usually legally allowed, to stop trouble, just to defend against it and escape it.
Police have to respond to requests to look for trouble and subdue it.
Military often need to cause trouble and bring it to the enemy.
These differences require very different training procedures.
The civilian trains as an individual.
Most police train as individuals and as part of a two man team.
Military train as units.
Next??
