Armed Escort Operations/Refresher
Protecting People, Assets and Objectives Through Disciplined Planning
Armed escort duties require more than the presence of armed personnel. Effective protection depends upon clearly defined objectives, realistic risk assessment, operational planning, communication and disciplined teamwork.
This programme develops an understanding of the environment in which escort operations take place, the risks faced by both the protected objective and escort personnel, and the need for a coherent organisational method of operation.
Programme Overview
The Armed Escort Operations Programme provides a structured theoretical and practical foundation for personnel involved in protecting people, vehicles, goods or other high-risk objectives while in transit.
The programme examines the purpose of the escort assignment, the contemporary threat environment, the behaviour and methods of criminals, the risks faced by the protected objective and the risks faced by escort personnel themselves.
It then considers how the organisation should translate that understanding into a disciplined operating method. Detailed routes, tactical procedures, deployment methods and practical exercises remain within the controlled training environment.

Core Operational Considerations
Objective
Establish precisely what must be protected and what constitutes successful completion of the assignment.
Threat
Understand the people, methods and circumstances capable of disrupting the operation.
Exposure

Delivery Options
Protection Begins with Understanding the Objective
The effectiveness of an escort operation cannot be measured merely by the number of armed personnel or vehicles assigned to it.
Effective protection begins with a clear objective, an informed understanding of the threat and a disciplined operating method that coordinates people, information and resources throughout the assignment.
