Thrasher, Trevor
Behavior Based CQB

Behavior Based CQB will introduce the concepts involving how humans perform under high duress CQB situations, which is often extremely disconnected due to behavioral non-compliance from what is often taught and trained. The four critical tests of any tactic or skill will be discussed in relation to CQB/SWAT training and operations. Attendees will also learn the role of the three brains or "Triune Brain" when under threat and how to mitigate performance limitations of humans experiencing fight or flight activation as related to CQB. There will be numerous videos of real-world incidents to demonstrate the concepts.
