Under the rules of use of force, who must act reasonably?

• A. All personnel
• B. Only the lead vehicle commander
• C. Security personnel only
• D. Medical team

Answer: (A)

Everyone involved must act reasonably when it comes to the use of force. The standard of reasonableness requires making decisions that are necessary, proportionate to the threat, and guided by training. This isn’t limited to just the lead vehicle commander or to security personnel; any personnel who might be in a position to use force—in any capacity—must apply this standard. The idea is to prevent unnecessary or excessive force and to promote safe, controlled responses across the team. In practice, that means staying aware of the situation, using de-escalation when possible, and applying the minimum force needed to protect people and property.
