NGO security & survival services

Aimed at the client who will be working in locations that may be detached from the main secured military bases or urban centres of population where access to sound infrastructure and logistic support are not immediately available. This is a new concept and we believe it will be the way forward for future services in austere and hostile environment services. At present, there are no other security providers, which can offer this level of services, making Protegimus Strategies International proud to lead the way in this area of services. Although HET services is regarded as an adequate services package to operate in these dangerous and often demanding environments, the security and survival package will include many of the same core subjects, but with a focus that will highlight the importance of self reliance and self help. This package is aimed at the client who may find themselves on occasions in remote areas where medical and or military assistance may be some distance away. Subjects taught will include:

• Specific country briefings
