Aren't there really two AS scenarios, VT and Mumbia? They seem to be radically different problems. I can't imagine how you guys figure out which is which, except by contact.
Actually they may be looked at as differen, but They are both AS scenerios. AS scenerios don't always fit into a specific category. Each one is as different as any other scenerio LEO's deal with on any given day.
I agree with 021411. As an LEO and trained in AS by Strategos seconds are lives. You may enter by yourself, but its not recommended. Always use the one is none and two is one. If you are by yourself and you engage one person who is protecting you from the second shooter. At least One to engage and one to provide security. We never know how many shooters there are until the end and everything is cleared by one technique such as Hall Boss or by the SRT teams. You must always think there is more than one shooter.
That is not to say you can't enter. If the nearest unit is 5 or 10 minutes out you have to make that decision yourself.
As for a Civ heading into an AS scenerio, well I would think long and hard on going in. Remember the responding LEO's don't know you are a ccw holder trying to help. What they will see is an armed person in a killing field. Hopefully you will be able to identify yourself before something bad happens.
Usually its best to let LEO's do the entry. Besides its why we get paid the big bucks. LOL
"War is an ugly thing, but it's not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth the cost of war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has not a chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
