Other titles:
Summary: Parts One and Two of an Army Instructional film presented by Lieutenant-Colonel C D Farrar-Hockley, meant to confirm certain principles to the legal background to the use of force. The film uses four practical examples of problems likely to be faced by soldiers on the ground, each of which raises specific legal questions for students to discuss. The first centres on the use of military personnel to support the civilian police against protestors at the Greenham Common cruise missile base. The second again involves the use of Army units in support of police officers, this time in the event of civil unrest and rioting in a fictitious town.
