    Depends on what you want to do with a shield wall. If you're just protecting from projectiles there's not much you need to know except "point the shield at the guy with the grenade lacunher".

    But if you're going to actually form a shield wall and hold ground you need to train people. They need to learn how to move together, how to stay together when the situation gets chaotic, and they above all need to learn how to get hit by a charge without giving ground or breaking.

    it's of limited use in the US because we're all pretty sure the police would open fire if a shield wall was just like "No fuck you you are no longer in control of this situation".
