What is the primary purpose of an AT drill package?

The primary purpose of an AT (Antiterrorism) drill package is to assess unit capabilities and readiness. This involves simulating potential threats and response scenarios to ensure that the unit can effectively implement antiterrorism measures and strategies. By conducting these drills, the unit evaluates its preparedness and identifies areas that may need improvement or additional training. This assessment is vital to maintaining operational readiness and ensuring that personnel are equipped to handle real-world situations.

While training on equipment usage, developing new operational procedures, and evaluating individual officer performance are important aspects of military operations, they typically fall under different training initiatives rather than the primary focus of an AT drill. The AT drill specifically hones in on collective unit readiness to respond to potential terrorism-related incidents.
