As with anything training is key, it is important because it gives the responders involved i the information and skills they need to respond to any situation and in some cases a specific situation. First they must know what the situation is and how to identify it, then it is important for them to know who to respond in the safest manner that will not but them or the people involved in any more danger than is already presented it self. `the importance of training being uniform and all groups or law enforcement being trained in the same way is so that in the event something happens they will all be on one accord in their response. Not being on the same page about responding to an attack could lead to more lives lost and time wasted trying to get on the same page before actually being able to respond.
The Navy Yard After Action Report first pointed out how ill prepared the officers and people working in the building really were. The shooter engaged with multiple officers no of which were prepared or trained properly to respond and take down the shooter. Unfortunately this lead to the death of multiple officers before the shooter was taken down and multiple people working in the building loading their lives also. Twelve people died in this mass shooting, this made it clear that even if some training was being given on what to do in the case of a mass shooting, it was not enough training or did not explain fully what should be done or the roles of the people who would be engaging the shooter first. Unfortunately this lake of training lead to lives being lost. Through out this class i have realized that places that would be seen as most secure by the people on the outside and possibly the people that work within are in most cases the most ill prepared for a incident to take place. This is complacencies and it kills.

Preparedness is important because you do not want to be put in a situation where you don’t know what is going on. For example, if you are a medic and you get sick from the sight of blood then maybe that’s not the job for you. So be prepared for any and everything (at least in the medical field) is better than being hesitant in a life or death moment. Prevention is to make sure that when put in a situation you are looking for any and all things that can help you get out of a situation or help to your advantage. You want to prevent further harm to your patient and to other crew members, but you also want to make sure that you are safe and can be protected if anything were to happen. “Not long after, the Bureau—in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—formulated plans for a training exercise series to ensure that American law enforcement, other public safety first responders, and private sector entities had coordinated, effective response plans in place in case this type of complex terror attack ever occurs at a U.S. public venue.” (FBI, 2014)
The response is easy you must respond quickly because it is a life or death situation. Most times you get little to no sleep when you are on call for a mission but that is life. In most situations, you have a backup crew there as well to help assist. I can remember one day I got 7 calls back to back it seemed like once I got back to the base another call would come in, we had enough time to fuel up grab more supplies and go out again. So, the response it sometimes letting people know ahead of time what you need and don’t need so that it is ready for you and you don’t have to wait for it. Recovery is always the hardest. It hard because you are generally recovering a fallen comrade or friend. But if luck you are just recovering the equipment that was used. Sometimes recoveries were good because you knew you were getting back people alive those were the best ones.
“The environment created several tactical disadvantages. When Alexis shot and injured the MPD officer, Alexis was hiding in a dense cubicle area with narrow pathways. The officer was making his way down the pathway, clearing cubicles as he passed, and believes that his radio, which was not attached to an earpiece, may have given away his location.” (Team, 2014) This was a huge take away for me. I thought that all walkie talkies for law enforcement had earpieces. Also, I knew that cubicles in office buildings were the hardest to clear because there are too many hiding places.

In
this
,
I
will
be
using
a
lot
of
examples
from
when
I
worked
in
the
Combat
Support
Hospital
and
use
some
of
what
has
happened
to
me
as
examples
of
preparedness,
prevention,
response,
and
recovery
while
still
trying
to
cover
the
reading
material.
Preparedness
is
important
because
you
do
not
want
to
be
put
in
a
situation
where
you
don’t
know
what
is
going
on.
For
example,
if
you
are
a
medic
and
you
get
sick
from
the
sight
of
blood
then
maybe
that’s
not
the
job
for
you.
So
be
prepared
for
any
and
everything
(at
leas
t
in
the
medical
field)
is
better
than
being
hesitant
in
a
life
or
death
moment.
Prevention
is
to
make
sure
that
when
put
in
a
situation
you
are
looking
for
any
and
all
things
that
can
help
you
get
out
of
a
situation
or
help
to
your
advantage.
You
want
to
prevent
further
harm
to
your
patient
and
to
other
crew
members,
but
you
also
want
to
make
sure
that
you
are
safe
and
can
be
protected
if
anything
were
to
happen.
