ATTACK ON PRINCIPAL COUNTERMEASURES (ATC-201)

ATTACK ON PRINCIPAL COUNTERMEASURES (ATC-201)

The Attack on Principal Countermeasures (ATC-201) is an intensive three-day training program designed to equip executive protection agents with the critical skills and tactical mindset necessary to effectively respond to an attack on principal scenario. As targeted assaults on high-profile individuals continue to rise, often with the intent to cause lethal harm, public humiliation, or physical violence, the need for highly trained and adaptable protection professionals has never been greater.

This course emphasizes proactive threat mitigation strategies, focusing on the vulnerabilities created by time-place predictability and accessibility. Participants will learn how to identify and disrupt patterns that adversaries exploit, and how to implement dynamic countermeasures that reduce exposure and ultimately how to reduce or mitigate an attack. Through scenario-based training, agents will gain the confidence and competence to make rapid decisions under pressure, ensuring the safety of their principal in threatening environments.

The training program was designed and developed utilizing the best practices, tactics, techniques, and procedures of our internal subject matter experts (SMEs), federal, state, and municipal-level public safety organizations, military special operations, and private sector security organizations

PURPOSE

This 3-day training program is designed to deliver a comprehensive blend of armed and unarmed response skills to agents for the purpose of safeguarding Principals and the public during an attack on principal event under various environmental conditions.

This unique, modular training program is delivered via a hybrid combination of live, instructor-led instruction and challenging field exercises. The program culminates with a capstone full-mission-profile Situational Training Exercise (STX) in which students will be evaluated on the entire spectrum of skills encompassed by the curriculum.
