I'd like to get some opinions on the scan and assess after an engagement and/or other types of movements that Agencies or Teams may be training. I have mixed opinions on it, I definitely see the importance in certain situations, however I seem to be more and more hesitant in training an exact movement after every engagement in a training setting, i.e., overt 180 degree scan to the left and right after every rep. I can definitely see the benefit if I'm in a largely "unfriendly" atmosphere and I need to scan for threats sympathetic to a bad guy, however take that out of the equation and I see more of a potential and continued threat from the situation to my front which I just engaged. I don't necessarily like the idea of training a muscle memory that may not be beneficial in the majority of situations. FYI, I've been training this for quite some time and I'm just trying to think a little broader than my own AO or what I've been taught. How are you guys training this issue and what is the overall opinion of your Team/Agency? Thanks
