Commentary:
This is great to see that the teams are actively involved in training on installations and are out there competing with their civilian counterparts. Is it time to reconsider opening another EST school for Security Forces? Isn't there enough expertise within Security Forces to mount another school, surely it would keep our Security Forces on the cutting edge, not only on new technology, tactics and shooting skills, but also on survival tactics for police.
