Observation and situational awareness
Define the information the exercise needs. Assess the environment and practical constraints before starting.
Field practice
SurveillanceObserve accurately. Coordinate quietly. Record what matters.
Field observation is useful when it answers a clear question. Develop disciplined observation, team coordination and accurate reporting through practical exercises.
Inside the programme ↓SURVEILLANCE / SUPERVISED PRACTICE
Brief. Observe. Debrief.
Give the observation a purpose.
An instructor sets a question: which entrance does the role-player use? The team agrees responsibilities before the exercise begins.
The instructor reviews both the record and the decisions behind it.How the learning works

Rehearse.
Apply.
Work through the problem, compare your approach and examine the result with an instructor.
Planning and coordinating field teams
Agree responsibilities and reporting between the team. Respond to changes without losing the purpose of the instruction.
Evidence records, imagery and context
Record observations with time and context. Separate what you saw from what you inferred.
Counter-surveillance and TSCM awareness
Review exposure and counter-surveillance awareness. Understand where a specialist technical sweep is required.
