Just a question out there. I am seeing a lot of pictures on this and other sites that command is on a car / SUV and does not get out this loots like a mid-west west coast thing. Is this normal for command to do that. I know that all the commands i have seen in the northeast they are out of the car in front of the building. In classes it is taught that command does a 360 then back to the front of the building. just a question with command in a SUV in front of of the building does this work ? I am not sure as a command officer i think that having done a walk around give the officer a better idea of what the building looks like and the hazards.
