What is Tactical Tracking Training? Tactical Tracking techniques are those by which we as individuals can see and assess the objects and people in that environment, and as leaders, build situational awareness and aid us in developing a team oriented approach to fugitive apprehension, as well as conducting surveillance and reconnaissance. By employing these methods we seek to achieve a better understanding of the environment or possibly the threat allow us to make better tactical decisions when the time comes.
Tactical Tracking allows us to gather information by analyzing the forensic evidence (spoor) left by the contact made by humans on the natural environment. This information will allow us to develop a better intelligence picture in regards to fugitive behaviors, enemy size, activities, location, unit, time, equipment, and intent and much more.
