Who is allowed within operation perimeters during a training exercise?

During training exercises, it is crucial to ensure safety and control over the environment. Allowing only visitors who are escorted at all times strikes a balance between maintaining operational integrity and providing access to observers. Visitors need to be closely monitored in potentially hazardous training areas to prevent accidents and ensure that they do not interfere with the exercise.

While instructors, certified firefighters, and team members may have the necessary training and awareness of the risks involved, visitors typically lack this background. Therefore, having them escorted ensures that they receive the appropriate guidance and stay in safe locations during the exercise. This practice is about managing risk and ensuring that all personnel present are accounted for and aware of the operational dynamics.
