SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - To better prepare for any situation, the 2nd Security Forces Squadron trains using MILO: a virtual simulator that puts you through different scenarios. The person controlling it can change the outcome of each situation based on how an officer reacts during training.
âThe MILO system allows us to do several different things,â Tech Sergeant Dennis Kotal said. âIt allows us to do proficiency firing, use of force training, active shooter training, and less than lethal use of force and de-escalation training.â
