10-Minute Training Collections group related Tactical Decision Games by operational theme to support focused, progressive development of command skills.
Each collection addresses a specific class of high-risk or complex incidents and is designed to help officers recognize recurring cues, anticipate common failure modes, and refine strategy and tactical decision-making across multiple scenarios.
Collections may be used as stand-alone training modules or integrated into longer-term officer development programs.
Why Train Using Collections?
Training with multiple scenarios drawn from the same operational theme allows officers to move beyond isolated problem solving and develop deeper pattern recognition.
Using collections helps participants:
-
identify recurring hazards and misleading cues
-
refine size-up and strategy selection
-
recognize early indicators of deteriorating conditions
-
practice prioritization and resource coordination
-
build shared mental models within companies and command teams
This approach supports both technical proficiency and cognitive readiness under time pressure.
