Easy enough...get enough people to grab each side of the shields in the shield wall and simply start pulling backwards or drag the wielder to the ground by the shield simply by falling down and backwards, keeping him on top of you so you don't get hit by his buddies!
He'll either release it or be on the ground with you and if he releases it then you get up and run off with the shield. LOL
Even if they attempt a baton strike if you just pull backwards they're breaking the integrity of the wall.

Defense formations with shields right out of the Roman Empire era. Wonder if they can “Form Square”!

Wonder of they can stop a 180 gr M2 Ball at 2800 fps.

Seems obvious to me the admin wants to agitate us in hopes of provoking something.. Liberty lovers are considered terrorists by dhs. Why would our troops train like this if not?

All those years of being a one man testudo finally paid off for Corporal Pudge
