Reality-Based Training (RBT), particularly force-on-force training, is often identified as the gold standard because of its realism. An important aspect of RBT is decision-making, individuals must not only decide what to do, but also when and how to do it. RBT provides these opportunities. By using real life examples as the basis for training, you can study the successes and mistakes of others and gird yourself with a strong foundation of skills to properly manage these incidents in the correct way. In many cases, you must make a split-second decision. How do you know it was a good decision? Reality-based training provides you with the necessary tools and skills to manage these incidents. In this approach, you are exposed to a variety of very real possibilities that you could encounter and can prepare for these situations in a controlled and analytical environment.
