About this instrument: Each scenario presents tiered tactical decision items. Every option reflects a genuine response a protective operations professional might choose, but they are not equally sound. Select the response you would actually apply in the field, not the one you believe sounds most impressive. Your report and Field Competency Index are generated instantly on completion.
Scenario 1 of 50%
SCENARIO 1 OF 5
Hostile Vehicle Approaching the Convoy
Your protective convoy is moving through a pre-cleared route. A vehicle begins to close distance from the rear at unusual speed and maintains position despite multiple lane changes by your formation.
Threat Detection and Situation Assessment
What is the strongest indicator that this vehicle's behaviour reflects deliberate hostile intent rather than coincidental traffic?
Protocol Adherence
Upon confirming the vehicle's behaviour is deliberate, what is the correct primary response?
Communication Under Degraded Conditions
Radio communication within the convoy is jammed at this exact moment. What is the correct fallback protocol?
Crisis Coordination
If the convoy is subsequently ambushed, what is the correct contingency response?
Tactical Resource Deployment
What is the correct operational role of the shadow vehicle in this specific scenario?
Judgement Under Pressure
Your team lead is momentarily unreachable during this developing threat. What is the correct individual response?
SCENARIO 2 OF 5
Crowd Chaos During Principal Movement
During a public movement of the principal through a crowded venue, the crowd becomes unexpectedly restless and begins to press toward the principal's position, creating risk of separation from the security detail.
Threat Detection and Situation Assessment
What is the correct first response as the crowd becomes restless and begins pressing toward the principal?
Communication Under Degraded Conditions
Which de-escalation approach is most appropriate to avoid triggering wider panic in this crowd?
Protocol Adherence
Where should the planned exit route ideally be positioned in this type of high-density crowd scenario?
Communication Under Degraded Conditions
If radio communication fails during this crowd movement, what is the most reliable real-time alternative?
Tactical Resource Deployment
What is the correct role of the advance team in preventing this type of crowd escalation?
Judgement Under Pressure
A member of the public makes sudden, rapid physical movement toward the principal during the crowd surge. What is the correct immediate response?
SCENARIO 3 OF 5
Internal Team Conflict During an Active Mission
During an active protective assignment, a member of your team refuses to maintain the briefed formation position, creating a coverage gap. The disagreement begins to visibly affect team coordination mid-mission.
Protocol Adherence
A teammate refuses to follow the briefed formation position mid-mission. What is the correct immediate action?
Team Leadership and Cohesion
What leadership approach is most effective for managing this kind of internal disagreement while the mission remains active?
Team Leadership and Cohesion
What is most effective in maintaining team trust and cohesion under this kind of pressure?
Protocol Adherence
What is the correct formal protocol for handling a team member who is consistently non-compliant with briefed instructions?
Communication Under Degraded Conditions
What is the ideal follow-up sequence after a post-mission debrief involving this kind of conflict?
Judgement Under Pressure
The non-compliant teammate's behaviour begins to create an actual coverage gap that increases risk to the principal in real time. What takes priority?
SCENARIO 4 OF 5
Suspicious Package at a Static Location
While the principal is seated at a fixed location during an extended engagement, an unattended bag is discovered in close proximity, with no identifiable owner among nearby attendees.
Threat Detection and Situation Assessment
What is the correct immediate priority response upon discovering the unattended item?
Crisis Coordination
What is the correct sequence of actions and communications in the first sixty seconds after discovery?
Team Leadership and Cohesion
The principal insists on continuing the engagement despite your risk assessment. What is the correct approach?
Protocol Adherence
Who should take the lead in coordinating with external bomb disposal or law enforcement once they are engaged?
Communication Under Degraded Conditions
What specific documentation matters most in the post-incident report for this event?
Judgement Under Pressure
Venue staff insist the bag belongs to a vendor and ask you to stand down the response. What is the correct response?
SCENARIO 5 OF 5
Unscheduled Media Confrontation
During a transition between venues, your protective detail is unexpectedly approached by a group of media personnel seeking immediate access to the principal, creating a physical bottleneck around the formation.
Threat Detection and Situation Assessment
What is the correct immediate priority when the media group creates a physical bottleneck around the formation?
Team Leadership and Cohesion
How should the physical space around the principal be managed without appearing aggressive or confrontational?
Protocol Adherence
What does the absence of a pre-briefed protocol for this scenario most directly indicate?
Communication Under Degraded Conditions
Who is the appropriate person to communicate directly with media in this situation, if communication is necessary at all?
Tactical Resource Deployment
What specific element of this scenario most directly tests pre-event planning quality?
Judgement Under Pressure
