In the heat of a tense demonstration, the riot police move as a single, disciplined unit. At the heart of their coordination is the Team Leader, the one who stands just behind the shielded front line, calmly issuing commands through a radio or by hand signals.
This leader is responsible for the entire group, organizing the operation with precision — from positioning to timing — ensuring that each member knows their role and acts with control.
At the very front stands the Front Echelon, a solid wall of officers in full riot gear, shields locked tightly together.
They form the initial barrier between the protesters and whatever space or area is being protected.
These officers are trained to hold firm, maintain formation, and respond proportionally, often with stoic discipline even in the face of provocation.
Among them is the Gas Officer, standing slightly behind or embedded within the formation, waiting for the command to act.
This officer carries chemical deterrents like tear gas or smoke grenades and deploys them when the situation escalates beyond verbal control or physical containment.
The Gas Officer doesn't act independently — they rely on the Team Leader’s judgment to determine the right moment.
Sometimes, in the swirl of the crowd, a specific demonstrator might be identified — perhaps someone escalating violence or leading the charge.
The Team Leader gives a signal. In one coordinated motion, the Front Echelon opens up just wide enough to create a gap — a tactical maneuver designed not to weaken the line but to briefly allow access.
Through that narrow opening, a few officers surge forward, isolate the individual, and pull them through the formation, where they are swiftly restrained and arrested.
As quickly as it opened, the line snaps shut again, shields locking once more to seal the barrier.
Behind all of this, out of direct view from the crowd, is the Rear Echelon. Here, supporting officers wait — some ready to rotate in when the front line tires, others handling logistics, communication, or medical support.
Arrested demonstrators are processed here, away from the chaos, and supplies are restocked if needed. The Rear Echelon keeps the frontline operational, like a backbone holding everything in place.
This is how the system works — a combination of strength, control, coordination, and roles, each piece moving under the direction of a central leader, each echelon playing its part in managing public order.
