To a certain extent, this process of analysis began many years ago. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and some allied agencies attempted to distill the lessons learned, disseminate them throughout the law enforcement community, and incorporate them into their training and education processes. However, we now have the benefit of an additional 40 years worth of experience, maturity, study, and insight into the dynamics of personal combat, and this provides us the opportunity to derive new observations and challenge the validity of some old accepted ones. The fact remains that Newhall is more than just a footnote in the history of American law enforcement. It is a schoolhouse fully capable of educating a new generation of warriors in the mechanics of survival.

All of this brings us to the third motivation for this book, which is to ensure that the lessons of Newhall, once identified, are fully integrated into the training and education of today’s warriors.³
