They are talking about Marines working with civilian law enforcement in training. They are also talking about getting people on the "same page" for training....not the same page for when they go clear Louisville together.

And yet this does beg the question: under what circumstances should civil police and military be working together WHERE WEAPON USE IS INVOLVED.
Many answers are not comfortable.

“And yet this does beg the question: under what circumstances should civil police and military be working together WHERE WEAPON USE IS INVOLVED.

So the military isn’t supposed to be trained on how to clear a room without blowing up an entire city block?

That’s part of the reason why they train with SWAT teams. And it’s not everyone in the military who does this training BTW. The Marines assigned to protect carriers and other “capital ships” go through this sort of training.

Force Recon Marines have the mission of VBSS (Visit Board Search and Seizure). Do they not need to be trained in SWAT style tactics?

But you and some of the others apparently like the idea of more of our troops coming home in body bags because they hav’t got a clue as to how to properly clear a room/structure.

“Sir, how should we clear the building?”
