Question 1

When engaging a threat from behind cover, what is the primary principle of the 'slice the pie' technique?

Accepted Answer

Gradually reveal threat areas in small angular increments while minimizing exposure

Answer

Slicing the pie involves slowly rotating around a corner in small increments to expose and clear the threat area while keeping your body protected behind cover.

Question 2

In a low-light tactical environment, what is the preferred method for searching an area with a handheld flashlight?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'FBI technique' by holding the light away from your body

Answer

The FBI technique positions the light away from the body so that return fire aimed at the light source does not strike the operator.

Question 3

During a tactical reload, when should an agent perform this action?

Accepted Answer

During a lull in the fight when the magazine is partially depleted

Answer

A tactical reload is performed during a pause in action to replace a partially-spent magazine with a full one, retaining the partial magazine for potential later use.

Question 4

What does 'threat assessment' require an agent to evaluate before using deadly force?

Accepted Answer

Ability, opportunity, and jeopardy (AOJ) presented by the threat

Answer

The AOJ triad—Ability, Opportunity, and Jeopardy—forms the legal and tactical framework for determining if deadly force is justified.

Question 5

When transitioning from a long gun to a sidearm during a gunfight, what is the correct sequence?

Accepted Answer

Let the long gun hang on its sling and draw the sidearm
