Special Tactics holds the opinion that overall, American citizens and communities are not doing enough to prepare for deadly terrorist attacks. We have fire drills, but why is there so little formal education and training for how to deal with a deadly terrorist attack? Potential terrorist targets such as schools, airports, offices and places of worship are often poorly prepared to deal with a deadly attack perpetrated by terrorists or violent criminals. To help counter this threat, Special Tactics is releasing its first “Mini Course,” a 20-slide presentation entitled Surviving a Deadly Attack in an Enclosed Environment.

Special Tactics believes that analyzing the enemy is extremely important. While this is an older video, it still offers some valuable insights both on the threat and our failure to understand it. Special Tactics respectfully disagrees with Dr. Anthony Cordesman’s analysis of the Daesh training video in the CNN interview.
