A boot covered in fake blood was left on Gryphon Group Security Solutions’ medical training lane after the amputee role-player was evacuated by Soldiers with 4th Military Information Support Group, May 4, 2016. The lane pits a small contingent against an overwhelming force with fire superiority. The team must make their way to an extraction point while providing medical aid to the wounded they sustained en route. Cadre use stressful and realistic situations such as this to reinforce the importance of situational awareness during direct action and traumatic events. Soldiers trained on advanced pistol marksmanship, evasive driving, and first aid techniques during the week-long course at the Fort Bragg Combat Training Center in Maxton, North Carolina.

William B. Caldwell the IV a US Army Lieutenant General and the Commander of the NATO Training Mission in Afghanistan ordered a psychological operations team of the military to illegally manipulate visiting US dignitaries into supporting calls for further troops and funding. Caldwell is alleged to have breached laws that prevent the use of military propaganda on US citizens, by inappropriately pressuring the team to compile dossiers on senators and senior military personnel that identify "hot button issues" and vulnerabilities of each, enabling the targeting of propaganda for “psyops” to “plant inside their heads”. Caldwell denies the allegation that he commanded the use of the psychological operations team to influence the visitors, however General David Petraeus the US commander in Afghanistan has ordered an investigation.
