TRAINING
Due to the potentially volatile nature of Tactical Rope work, operators must show proficiency in a wide variety of skills while working in the vertical environment. These skills are tailored directly to the challenges faced in the operational environment including medical care and/or rescue of injured operators or subjects; basic and advanced vertical mobility skills; operational planning; and various intervention techniques. Each level builds upon skills in the previous level, and as an operator advances through the levels, they must still show proficiency in the previous levels.
Tactical rope operations typically are situations where law enforcement and military are required to access or provide interventions on or via a vertical medium. During most operations top access for anchors is not guaranteed, and anchors can be in suboptimal areas.
