Reliability development methods for professional skills and abilities to use riot control weapons by military police officers

The paper examines the factors influencing the ability of each military police officer to perform error-free professional job tasks with a high degree of automation. The analysis of relevant literature conducted by the authors and personal general teaching experience allowed to determine reliability development methods for professional skills and abilities to use riot control weapons by military police officers during confrontation and contributed to the development of practical guidelines. The study is aimed to identify key professional skills of military police officers and an effective strategy to develop a set of coordinated movements based on primary skills developed on the basis of common skills allowing to perform the act. The complex motor skill development method is a scientifically based system that integrates three key components, i.e. systemic analysis of professional activity, a step-by-step integration of skill components, and improvement of the development process. The study emphasizes the importance of combining such techniques and acts into one set of coordinated movements or a series of sequential acts leading to the development of a complex skill characterized by clear and precise acts and performed by a military police officer with little conscious brain control. Further development of this research area will significantly increase the professional readiness of military police personnel to perform special missions in any conditions.
