Recently, I got an opportunity to watch program "One Man Army" on Discovery
Channel. Four men from different divisions of security forces
participated in the competition. There are three different rounds; first
two were elimination rounds. In final round, only two participants compete for $10,000 prize and the title.
There
were four participants representing their different divisions. Some of
them were retired personals. Rigorous and very special training make them the specialists that any nation and its civilians could rely on for security. The participant who won the
competition was from one of the most elite security troops on the earth.
He shared very crucial clue they look for any offensive move in super-critical operational conditions. By just looking at hands and eyes, they have to determine whether the person is attacker or an innocent within fraction of seconds. If any person carrying a weapon and ready to attack, its gaze and hands always work together. Entire body needs to orient itself towards the target. Eyes scales distance and movement whereas hands are kept ready to shoot. Also, tiniest movement can differentiate between intention of attack or retreat. Every moment is crucial for survival of soldiers and hostages both.

Without indiscriminate firing or sharpshooting from a safe distance, specials troops are responsible in rescuing civilians or hostages with minimum causalities. They have to keep close watch on nonverbal clues from possible attackers. Co-ordination and communication among team members also takes place very silently through symbolic hand and facial gestures in parameter area. More they could remain covert, lesser opportunities attackers get to harm them. Element of surprise is heart of guerrilla warfare.
Carrying
sophisticated weaponry and state of art communication equipments doesn't
give the cutting edge required to win a battle. Close combats throws any soldier on edge of survivability by snap judgements and actions. Success of every special operation depends upon intelligence and vigilance only.
