Role players create simulated conditions in which to validate Soldiers' ability to apply material learned in realistic scenarios. Scenarios may vary from coordinating an opportunity to meet with local leaders, coordinating medical support to local children, assessing the attitudes of the population in a certain area; de-escalating a situation by communicating properly with local religious leaders, supporting riot control, or directing both combatants and non-combatants during offensive operations. Role players will provide the realism to the scenario, filling the roles of the indigenous population, requiring the Soldiers training to apply the skills taught in the classroom environment.
