2.6 Fourth training day
Exercise in a shift with other Joint Teams involved -— Complex Scenario

On the fourth day a more complex exercise is foreseen, which involves three patrols
in one scenario. The location of the scenario should reflect the reality as much as
possible. The exercise should be conducted in real populated area, with all security
measures ensuring the safety of participants, trainers, actors and civilians.

This scenario focuses on communication and interaction between Joint Teams, but
also on:

 Closing an area (border guard tactic skills)

» Searching an area (border guard tactic skills)

» First aid skills

« Initiating asylum procedures

Exercise in a night shift with two other Joint Teams involved — Complex Scenario

The evening of the fourth day is dedicated for an exercise in night shift with three joint
teams involved. This too is a complex exercise which involves three teams in one
scenario. Location of the scenario should demonstrate reality as much as possible.

Topic is border crossing of a group of people with transport organized by facilitator.

This scenario focuses on communication and interaction between joint teams in
condition of low light, but also on:

 Closing an area (border guard tactic skills)

« Searching an area and premise (border guard tactic skills)

° First aid skills

Patrols are assigned to patrol in the green border area and to carry out surveillance
duties. In a case of any irregularities, patrol should take necessary actions
immediately

Risk assessments indicate attempts of illegal border crossings in the area, especially
clandestine entry and some smugogling cases of goods (cigarettes, alcohol). Several
times during the last week local citizens informed BG authority about the presence of
unknown people in the area.

During the fourth training day and the more complex scenarios it is essential that one
patrol is taking the lead on the spot as multi-patrol leader.
