The aim of this research is to reflect on important operational concepts in order to encourage military police officers who carry out the typical activities of the Metropolitan Tactical Rounds Battalion - ROTAM Battalion, to be concerned about their Individual Training, which is subdivided into Operational Training and Material Training. The first refers to technical and doctrinal preparation, through the unit's training, further training and continuing education courses. The second refers to the preparation, selection and packaging of materials and items that will be useful in the theatre of operations. This is a bibliographical study, with descriptive characteristics, based on publications on the subject, mainly from the Armed Forces, the main scholars on the subject. In order to contextualise the subject, a brief explanation of the differences between Special Operations and Tactical Patrolling was chosen, since the subject still causes some confusion among police officers. It was also decided to address some aspects of the ergonomics of police and military equipment, including concepts and topics.
