Background
Following a deterioration of the security environment in the country, a European diplomatic mission based in Kinshasa, DRC requested NSSG provide tactical training to its security drivers to increase their abilities in employing B-6 armoured SUVs.
Solutions
Based on the client’s requirements, NSSG developed a tailored training programme focused on, but not limited to:
- Increasing familiarisation in the use of armoured vehicles during routine operations;
- Understanding the peculiarities of armoured vehicles and their potential use as both a defensive and offensive tool;
- Identifying the principles of mission planning and convoy movements;
- Training in safety-related aspects and equipment;
- Providing exercises based on realistic scenarios.
The training involved the on-site deployment of a qualified trainer with a background in a European military unit specialised in diplomatic protection, as well as bi-yearly refresher training.
