In response to active shooter threats, the U.S. Army Military Police School (USAMPS) identified current best practices for weapons skills training as employed by various civilian and military law enforcement authorities. That information was then used to construct a new set of pistol training exercises which focus on dynamic shooting engagements and the development of skills like smooth weapons handling, successful target transitioning, and rapid weapon reloading. To identify an effective, efficient approach for training these skills, Active and Reserve Military Police (MPs) were trained on a common set of pistol exercises in either a Dry, Engagement Skills Trainer 2000 (EST 2000), Live, or Live Plus (i.e., identical to the Live condition but with additional practice rounds). Baseline (i.e., pre-training) and post-training shooting performance was measured. Results indicated that the Dry and Live Plus conditions were consistently the most effective at improving MP performance.
