How to Detect and Engage Enemy (hostile) Traps in The Field: Part 2 of 2

  Using Situational Awareness to Detect Traps

Situational awareness is the process of being conscious of what’s happening around you in terms of where you are, where you’re supposed to be, and whether anyone or anything around you is a threat to your safety and security.

It’s a skill used by soldiers, law enforcement, and intelligence officers to detect potential threats before they materialize, including traps.
