Vehicular attack scenarios shall be an integral pa rt of the instruction with emphasis on recognizing the elements of an attack. Practical driving exercises shall be used to reinforce any classroom lecture and provide trainee(s) with opportunities to perform all of the above techniques. Trainees shall have exposure to simulated realistic attacks and will be required to perform each prescribed maneuver. Students completing this training shall be able to successfully perform all driving maneuvers and any additional techniques conducted throughout the traini ng. Upon completion, students shall also be familiarized with different types of off-road vehicles and alternate recovering techniques CONTRACTOR'S TRAINING SITE Training is to be conducted off-site at the contractor's facility.

The shoulder(s) of two-lane road courses shall be of natural terrain, i.e., gravel, dirt or grass to allow the student a sense of off-road surface and experience the loss of vehicle control due to differing conditions. This will also allow the student to employ proper off-r oad recovery techniques enabling them to regain control and safely re-enter the road. The driving facility shall have safe skid pads capable of being completely flooded with water for instruction of over and under steering skid control. The road courses shall allow for realistic surprise/off-road obstacles i.e. steep ascents/descents, rocks and rock climbs, logs, holes, mud and sand; vehicle and on-foot attack and ambush scenarios. (i.e. natural foliage and/or natural terrain cover and concealment areas along straight-aways and turns). (Note: Safe is defined as free of hazards, within 30 feet of each side of the road, such as broken pavement, potholes, road-edge drop-offs of more than eight inches, trees, barriers, ditches, or any other dangerous obstructions too close to the road cours e endangering students) VEHICLES The contractor shall provide all vehicles being used in the training exercises/scenarios, per course being offered.
