Correct Answer
A. Enhance our role and understanding of the modelExplanation
Color is used in the Use of Force Model (UFM) to enhance our role and understanding of the model. By incorporating color, the model becomes more visually engaging and easier to comprehend. It helps to differentiate between different levels or stages of force, making it clearer for individuals to interpret and apply the model appropriately. Additionally, the use of color can also convey emotions or intensity associated with each level of force, further enhancing our understanding of the model's implications and potential outcomes.Rate this question:

You should respond to an actual incident where you can reasonably expect to encounter an armed adversary with your M-4 rifle at “port arms,” a round in the chamber, selector weapon on
- A.
“SAFE,” and the finger not in the trigger guard
- B.
“FIRE,” and the finger not in the trigger guard
- C.
“SAFE,” and the finger in the trigger guard
- D.
“FIRE,” and the finger not in the trigger guard
Correct Answer
A. “SAFE,” and the finger not in the trigger guardExplanation
In this scenario, the correct answer is "SAFE," and the finger not in the trigger guard. This is because when encountering an armed adversary, it is important to prioritize safety and minimize the risk of accidental discharge. By keeping the selector weapon on "SAFE" and the finger outside the trigger guard, the soldier ensures that the rifle is not ready to fire and reduces the chance of an unintentional discharge. This allows for better control and decision-making in a potentially dangerous situation.Rate this question:

- B.
Sentry lock engaged and hood rotated forward, shooting hand on the pistol grip, hammer not cocked, and finger not in the trigger guard
- C.
Sentry lock disengaged and hood rotated forward, shooting hand on the pistol grip, hammer cocked, and finger in the trigger guard
- D.
Sentry lock disengaged and hood rotated forward, shooting hand on the pistol grip, hammer not in the trigger guard
Correct Answer
D. Sentry lock disengaged and hood rotated forward, shooting hand on the pistol grip, hammer not in the trigger guardExplanation
This answer is correct because it follows the proper procedure for responding to an actual incident with an M9 pistol. The sentry lock should be disengaged and the hood should be rotated forward. The shooting hand should be on the pistol grip, and the hammer should not be in the trigger guard. This ensures that the pistol is ready to be used if necessary, but also maintains safety by keeping the finger outside of the trigger guard and the hammer not cocked.Rate this question:

- D.
In slightly, crouch down, and don’t look at the suspect’s feet
Correct Answer
C. Out slightly. Crouch down, and look at the suspect’s feetExplanation
When facing a rear grab hold, the second step is to create a fist, flex your arms slightly, and crouch down. By looking at the suspect's feet, you maintain awareness of their movements and can potentially identify any potential threats or escape opportunities. Looking at the suspect's groin area may not provide useful information and could distract from the situation at hand.
