Redefining the Concept of Cover

With the different methods subjects may use to attack, we need to examine what “cover” is and move beyond its classical definition.

If we redefine cover, as an object or structure that impedes a specific attack- how many “forms” of cover are in the photograph above- depending on the method of attack?

Lon Bartel and I wrote an article for Calibre Press (link provided) arguing for the redefining of the concept of cover. Looking at the photograph above, in conjunction with the article, depending on the type of attack, how many forms of “cover” might there be?

From a training perspective, if an officer is consistently and historically taught that cover only stops bullets, one could argue that under the stress of the moment, the officer might not recognize some of the “structures” and “objects” in the introductory photograph as “cover.”
