Do you have a plan for if things go wrong?  While no plan survives the first contact, the best part of your plan is the objective. In the Marine Corps, we called it the Commander’s Intent.

De-Escalation Requires Practice

I'm here to tell you that tactics are more important than the gear and the skill you have with the gear. Your understanding of what is going on and your move toward what you want to happen is your tactics.     A definition of gear is obvious, it's the stuff you have. The definition of skill is how you can use that gear. Your tactics are the overall mindset and how to employ your skills towards a goal. It's just bigger thinking...
