Security Forces patrolmen attempting to become Phoenix Ravens pause for a moment outside of the "Redman" room after a rigorous physical training session during the Phoenix Raven Qualification Course at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. The intensive three-week, 12-hour-a-day course covers such subjects as cross-cultural awareness, legal considerations, embassy operations, airfield survey techniques, explosive ordnance awareness, aircraft searches, and unarmed self-defense techniques. Students are exposed to more than 70 use-of-force scenarios where stress is simulated using role players. Training includes instruction and realistic practical exercises in antiterrorism/force protection, weapon system security, verbal judo, combatives, tactical baton employment and advanced firearms proficiency.
