When they are reacting, it is (to my understanding) “training” or “real world”.

9/11, of course, was “real world”.

That lets people know that they’re not joking about using real deadly force, be it guns or nuclear weapons.

Haven’t seen Lou Dobbs yet. I’ll have to record it.

“What exactly is a “real world security incident?”

The military runs many simulated exercises during the year. Each is designed to rate the actions of personnel in a possible scenario that would be pertinent to the base/post.

When something happens that can interrupt the flow of the test that can cause a cancellation of the steps it can be called a real world event. It can be anything from a natural disaster like an earthquake to an attempted terrorist activity to an area related to the reservation involved.

I was involved with rating DP and security forces at a broken arrow exercise when there was a larger than trace amount of radiation detected in the DP equipment. It caused a shut down the exercise. Turned out to be a large deposit of radon gas under the runway. But it took a number of days to come to that conclusion.
