Unit Focused Escalation of Force Training Kit

Abstract : To protect non-combatants in the operational environment, U.S. Soldiers must apply escalation of force (EOF) procedures in uncertain and fast-paced situations. In response to Army needs, a prototype EOF Training Kit was developed to address methods for training critical EOF competencies. Included in the EOF Training Kit are tactical EOF scenarios for three mission types and three levels of expertise, along with executive and supporting materials. Two versions of each scenario are provided- interactive desktop simulation and video viewing. The EOF Training Kit underwent iterative internal review and revision during development. It was then reviewed by Soldiers (currently serving roles as trainers/mentors) from operational units and it was revised based on their feedback. This document describes the EOF Training Kit's characteristics, contents, organization, learning context, and presentation style. It includes the complete EOF Training Kit (enclosed DVD) along with suggestions for utilizing the contents.
