The Concept
A Reality-Based Live Performance Production
Troysgate's Experiential Learning Methodology (TELM) is an effective, rapid and cumulative learning process that excels the Operator's performance through the application of knowledge, conceptual understanding, judgment and decision making, communication, human interaction and the ability to quickly assess and respond to the rapid dynamics of real world situations, and especially those situations that may escalate into deadly conflict.
The Production
The Stage, Cast & Crew
Troysgate's Weapons Firing Range System and Apparatus Employing Reflected Imagery is patented comprising products and methods, referred to as the Troysgate Theater, provide a safe and controlled live-fire environment that serve as the stage and backdrop for conducting live performances with unlimited applications and possibilities. Each production is carefully constructed and orchestrated placing the Operator center stage in the leading role with real actors in supporting roles as the role players. The instructor/trainer, RSO, role players, safety, operational and technical personnel work together as a team to closely monitor and provide direction and support to produce a realistic, high intensity production that challenges the performance of the Operator and provides a lasting, meaningful and personal life changing experience.
The Realism
Live-Fire Deadly Engagements at Close Quarters
Most productions are performed at very close quarters of three to nine feet which makes it very real, intimate and personal for the Operator. Unmodified live-fire weapons with live ammunition strongly establish the lethality and responsibility of the decisions and actions of the Operator. Each production scenario and performance by the role players are intense, action packed and filled with suspense and unpredictibility. The realism, uncertainty and rapid dynamics of the performances are developed and created from highly challenging reality based situations and scenarios that induce and dramatically elevate the Operator's stress levels and adrenline which trigger emotional, psychological and physiological effects and the natural human instinct of "fight or flight" for survival that the Operator must attempt to overcome to successfully assess, manage and respond accordingly.
The Experience
The Operator's Edge
Every production advances the Operator's performance to become increasingly better at situational assessment, judgment and decision making, human interaction and communication, stress management, and response to actions and reactions. Through the Operator's performances and interactions with role players, he/she gains valuable experience, conditioning and confidence, and equally as important establishes and commits the events and details from these experiences to memory which may later serve him/her in the event of an actual deadly encounter situation. For the Operator, the Troysgate Theater will most likely be his/her first encounter and experience in deadly conflict.
The Goal
Winning Combination
The Troysgate Theater challenges the Operator to achieve and sustain superior performance levels that leaves no doubt that he/she is absolutely prepared and Combat Ready to best ensure successful mission outcomes and survivability in combat and deadly conflict situations. The conditioned Operator is able to successfully manage high stress, volatile situations that may rapidly escalate into deadly conflict and to quickly apply rules of engagement and the decision to engage using lethal force when it is applicable and justified. Operator mental and response conditioning provided by Troysgate Theater training show improved situational assessment, decision making, engagement and response, and precision weapons fire with the potential for fewer chances and occurences of accidental or wrongful injuries, deaths and other collateral damages when faced with similar situations in the real world.
The Warrior Reset
A Way Back from a Deadly Encounter
The adverse impacts, effects and repercussions from deadly conflict can be extremely detrimental and damaging to the Operator. If their situation is not assessed quickly and addressed properly, the Operator may have significant trouble adjusting, coping and getting back into a normal, productive way of life. The Troysgate Theater allows the Operator to gradually work through complex issues from his/her deadly encounter event and acts as a "reset" to re-establish that which is normal for the Operator. The "Operator Reset" helps to assure that he/she is able to be re-deployed and ready to return back into the mainstream.
