Resisting Interrogation[edit]

Troopers applying for this course may specialize in one of two different types of interrogation styles; combat interrogation and rear-lines interrogation. The chief difference between the two is the brutality of the methods allowed and the availability of various tools.

Activity Requirements[edit]

Level 0

Training Regime/Story Requirements[edit]

Less of a training course, more of an experience. Trainees will attend a morning's lecture on resistance techniques, Before returning to his usual barracks. At an undisclosed time the trainee will be passed what they believe to be important tactical information in some form. They will then be "abducted" from their usual regime and subject to interrogation without warning.

Interrogation tests the soldier's ability to resist interrogation. They are treated roughly by their interrogators, often made to stand in 'stress positions' for hours at a time, while disorientating white noise is blasted at them. When their turn for questioning comes, they must only answer with the so-called 'big 4' (name, rank, serial number and date of birth). All other questions must be answered with 'I'm sorry but I cannot answer that question.' Failure to do so results in failing the course. The questioners will use all sorts of tricks to try and get a reaction from the candidates. They may act friendly and try to get their subjects chatting; or they stand inches away from their subjects and scream unfavourable remarks about the sexual habits of their mothers. Female interrogators may laugh at the size of their subject's manhood. Of course, a real interrogation would be a lot more harsh and the subject would not know that they get to leave alive when it's all over. That said, days of interrogations and enduring the stress positions and white noise break down a man's sense of time and reality.

Trooper must write a 1000 word story explaining his/her own experience of the interrogation. They may understand that this is a test, or they may have been tricked into thinking they have been captured.

Skills Gained[edit]

This course will do little more than tell you about your own ability to resist interrogation. The experience may go some way to preparing you for the real thing, a likelihood given SCOPE missions.
