Half an hour later, Irving appeared at the SWAT training ground. The SWAT training ground is in the city. After all, the FBI also has to consider the issue of dispatching police quickly. If it is placed in the suburbs, it will be safer, but the dispatch time will definitely be extended.
The guard was obviously notified, and Irving reported his CTU identity and was released.
The receptionist took him to a conference room. Everyone in the conference room was wearing combat uniforms. It looked like they were having a meeting. The person presiding over the meeting was a woman.
"Hello everyone, I'm Steve Irwin, from CTU in Los Angeles. I'm here to report on my first day today."
Owen stood at the door and greeted everyone.
"Wow, he's the kid who jumped off the rooftop of Zhongchen Building. Hi kid, I like you..."
Someone in the crowd laughed and joked, and others laughed too. Irving shrugged, and it seemed like it started well.
He looked at the woman on the podium, who was also wearing a combat uniform and had her hair tied into a braid behind her back. She should be the awesome female commander Wommack mentioned - Alyssa Cohen.
"You must be Miss Cohen..."
"STOP... call me 'ASH'. Also, there are no ladies here, only the captain and team members."
Owen was ruthlessly interrupted by Alyssa before he finished speaking. It was obvious that this woman was not easy to mess with.
Then she said to everyone: "This person is the new rookie I just mentioned, Campbell. From today on, he belongs to you. Find a time to explain our rules to him later."
Campbell responded, he was a young black man, and Owen realized that this guy was the one who had just teased him.
"Today's training content is CQB. Everyone, prepare yourself. See you at the training ground in half an hour..."
After Alyssa finished speaking, the meeting ended, and the crowd left one by one. Everyone seemed not to have seen him. Owen stood at the door a little embarrassed, and no one seemed to want to pay attention to him.
Finally, the black boy Campbell came up to him and said: "Don't worry, they just haven't accepted you yet. Come with me. Since you are going to stay here for a while, you need to know something..."
Campbell said as he led Irving into the locker room. He pointed to one of the cabinets and said, "This is yours. Change your clothes quickly. Training will start soon."
Owen said "Oh," there is a full set of combat equipment in the cabinet, and Owen began to change his clothes.
Campbell also started to change equipment on the side, and said to Irving at the same time: "When you are here, you have to remember one thing, never call ASH by her real name. Everyone here knows that she doesn't like others to call her Alyssa Cohen, so
You must remember that you can only call her ASH, otherwise you will suffer a lot. Also, don’t call her lady, call her commander, or head..."
Owen finally knew what the rules Alyssa, oh no, ASH were talking about, and kept these two points firmly in mind.
…
On the training ground, the commandos who had finished changing their uniforms lined up in a row. Owen was naturally standing at the end of the line, but his expression was a little strange because he had just spotted an acquaintance, Moni, who had competed with him at the IPSC shooting range.
Ka Weiss.
I really didn't expect to meet her here. That pretty girl with blond hair is actually a member of SWAT. No wonder her shooting skills are so good, but what does this girl mean when she looks like she doesn't know her?
"Owen, as a defender, pay more attention."
Training begins.
Owen originally thought that he would be able to watch the whole process for the first time, but he didn't expect Alyssa to let him participate for the first time. However, it was good, because he could observe SWAT's tactics up close and see how their team members cooperated.
Irving knows the position of defender. He is the last one in the team. Most of the team members pay attention to the front. The defender is different. He is alert to the rear. He must always ensure that the team has no dead ends in 360 degrees. Basically, he walks backwards the whole time.
of.
Forward, forward!
The team entered the CQB training ground. Monica was in the first position as the number one assaulter, Campbell was in the second position, Alyssa was in the third position as the team commander, followed by the firepower, and Owen was in the last position as the defender.
There are various scenarios in the simulated venue here, such as corridors, broken doors, and hostage-taking. Their simulation training this time is to rescue hostages.
Along the way, Owen was doing well. Alyssa looked at him a few times and found that Owen was doing well and that this newcomer was not as good as she thought.
When they arrived at the target room, the door was closed. Alyssa waved her hand, and the team divided into two lines and lined up on both sides of the door. This door is the most common standard door in the United States, with a lotus leaf on one end and a door lock on the other.
There may be a chain lock on the side.
Alyssa made a gesture, and Campbell on the other side of the door hung his M4A1 on his body, then reached back and took out the Remington M870 on his back.
The Remington M870 on Campbell's body is specially used for breaking doors, and it also fires special door-breaking bullets. The door-breaking bullets are usually filled with zinc, which produces high-temperature jets when fired, destroying the door lock structure.
SWAT is usually equipped with two types of shotguns, the Remington M870 and the Bernelli M1 Super 90. The pump-action Remington M870 is generally used for breaking doors, and the Bernelli M1 Super 90 is mostly used in real combat.
Campbell received Alyssa's instructions, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the lock, and pulled the trigger directly.
Usually there are two types of door breaking, cold door breaking and hot door breaking. Cold door breaking uses some tools, such as a breaking hammer or a crowbar.
Thermal door breaking is divided into two types: shotgun and blast. Shotgun is usually used to destroy the lock or directly break the chain lock inside. Blasting is to blow it directly with explosives, but the types of explosives are also different.
One is a strip-shaped explosive that can directly blow open the entire side door without any disadvantages as long as it is attached to one side of the lotus leaf.
The other type is water shaped explosive, which is often referred to as "water bomb". It uses the flexible tension of water during the explosion to fly the entire door. This method is much safer, but the technical difficulty is relatively high.
Campbell obviously used the simplest shotgun to break the door. The moment the door lock was broken, he kicked the door open and threw a shock bomb in.
There was an explosion with a "bang".
Monica and Alyssa, who were the first and second attackers on both sides, fired quickly at the moment of the explosion, clearing away the enemies hiding in the blind spots as quickly as possible, and the firepower behind them was already following closely.
Rushed into the house.
Accurate and fast!
When Irving entered, the hostages had been successfully rescued. As a defender, he basically just played a role and learned how to cooperate with SWAT.
Owen's first practice was fruitless, but at least he let everyone know that he was not a rookie. This afternoon's practice was all CQB, various scenarios, investigation, search, and hostage rescue.
I don’t know how the CTU and the FBI negotiated, but SWAT actually trained Irving with unprecedented intensity. Irving felt as if he had reserved the field. He could basically change to a new position in every round of training.
Defender, goal scorer, fireman, second attack, first attack...
The first three were okay, but by the time of the second and first attacks, some people had already begun to express their dissatisfaction. Are you kidding me? A rookie who just joined the team and didn't know anything about it took on the important role of an attacker. He thought this was a passing incident.
Every family?
At the critical moment, it was Monica who said something for Owen: "I don't know about other aspects, but his shooting skills are no problem..."
Everyone was shocked. Everyone knew how good Monica's marksmanship was. It was fast and accurate, otherwise she wouldn't be able to attack. Now Monica said that Owen's marksmanship was fine. Did they know each other before?
Campbell's gossip fire was burning brightly, but Monica didn't give him a good look at all. In fact, this girl had never given a good look to anyone.
Owen also discovered through an afternoon of observation that this girl simply wasted her pretty face and good figure, always looking like a stranger.
