HFRG Final exam solution 2024
Identify the mental states in combat - ANS Combat Anxiety (Before), Survival Stress
(During) and Survival Anxiety (After)
Define the autonomic nervous system including its two branches, their functions, and
the balance between the two - ANS Part of the peripheral nervous system and it
controls many organs and muscles within the body. The two branches are
Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) and Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS).
They balance both balance positive and negative stress.
Identify the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) triggers - ANS Objective Threat
Perceptions, Objective Fear Perceptions, Physical Exhaustion, and Startle Response.
Identify the physiology changes caused by SNS activation - ANS Increased Adrenal
Activity, effects on the officer's ability to do motor skills due to changes in blood vessels
(blood flow), effects on officer's vision (eyes dilated), auditory exclusion.
Identify how SNS activation effects combat performance - ANS Perceptual Narrowing,
Vision, Sight alignment, Vision and Stance Selection,
Define Perceptual Narrowing - ANS The use of a specific sensory system (and
exclusion of other sensory system) that provides the most relevant information at that
given second.
Describe the effects of SNS activation on vision - ANS Devastating impact on an
officer's ability to perform a task since the visual system plays a vital role in nearly every
aspect of survival performance.
Describe the effects of SNS activation on sight alignment - ANS Increased light and
information at that moment of time.
Describe the effects on SNS activation on vision and stance selection - ANS The body
and vision will automatically move to a position best to perceive the most information at
that time. reduced response time, and increased brain information on a target.
Describe how the survival reaction time model corresponds with the effects of SNS
activation on vision - ANS
Describe how the three stages of memory relate to combat performance - ANS
Describe the three Motor Skill Classifications - ANS Fine (Hand/Eye Coordination and
hand dexterity), Complex (Precision, Tracking, and Timing), and Gross (Symmetrical
Movements).
, Describe the Combat Performance Variables including how each affects combat
performance - ANS Mindset, Nutrition and Hydration, Hydration, and Fitness
Describe the effects of nutrition and hydration regarding combat performance - ANS
Fear and Health Problems can occur when nutrition and hydration is not taken
seriously.
Describe the 3 energy systems in the body - ANS ATP/PC System, Lactic Acid System
(LAS), Aerobic System (AS)
List four survival stress systems - ANS
Describe the methods used to reduce survival stress - ANS Confidence Factor, Motor
Skill Selection, Tactical Breathing, Visualization Skills, and Faith Factor
Define Critical Incident Amnesia - ANS A form of temporary Amnesia subsequent to a
SNS mass discharge,
Identify the three Components of Acceptability that underline the research philosophy
of the HFRG System - ANS Tactical, Legal, and Medical Research
Identify the two philosophies for Force/Control Continuums - ANS Levels of Resistance
V.S. Control
Identify the HFRG Resistance/Control Continuums - ANS Resistance (Lowest to
Highest)
Psychological Intimidation
Verbal Non Compliance
Passive Resistance
Defensive Resistance
Active Aggression
Deadly Force
Control (Lowest to Highest)
Officer Presence
Verbal Direction
Soft Empty Hands Techniques
Hard Empty Hands Techniques
Intermediate Weapons
Deadly Force
Identify variables that affect the use of force - ANS Type of crime committed, relative
size of suspect/officer, number of subjects involved, number of officers, availability of
backup, is the suspect attempting to get away, environment, etc.
