Course Description:

The Tactical PSD course is an intensive week-long training program focused on preparing operators for high-risk protective security deployments in conflict and post-conflict environments such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and similar regions. 

The course develops the skills required to operate within armed Protective Security Details (PSD) conducting high-profile movements, convoy operations, and protective missions in hostile environments. Training reflects real-world contractor conditions, including operations with long guns, heavy protective equipment, extended vehicle movements, and coordinated team response to direct and complex attacks.  Participants train in foot and mounted formations, convoy procedures, immediate action drills, static security response, mission planning, advance procedures, communications discipline, navigation, and tactical driving under operational stress. 

The program integrates force-on-force and live-fire exercises conducted in realistic environments to validate decision-making, coordination, and response under pressure.
