- [Narrator] Members of security forces

00:08.365 --> 00:10.152
at Ellington Field took part

00:10.152 --> 00:12.115
in a new exercise this past drill.

00:12.115 --> 00:13.940
The team worked on combative exercises

00:13.940 --> 00:16.545
that mimic going hands on with an aggressor.

00:16.545 --> 00:17.652
These drills range from

00:17.652 --> 00:20.198
deciding whether to use a taser on an assailant

00:20.198 --> 00:21.349
to physical maneuvers

00:21.349 --> 00:24.255
including strikes, submissions, and escapes.

00:24.255 --> 00:25.659
^- The guys come in motivated.

00:25.659 --> 00:26.725
^They want to learn.

00:26.725 --> 00:28.475
^They take it serious.

00:28.675 --> 00:30.508
^And it's not something that's just not

00:30.508 --> 00:31.989
^there sitting around behind a computer.

00:31.989 --> 00:33.518
So we want to be able to keep

00:33.518 --> 00:36.018
doing more training like this.

00:43.354 --> 00:44.806
