The customer for these training services is DS/ATA; however, the actual recipient of these training services will be selected foreign police and security officials.

This is an advanced training program, and demonstrable training experience in the delivery of counterterrorism/antiterrorism skills with specialized law enforcement and security strategies, tactics, techniques, and procedures is the most important factor for contract manpower selections. The specific training will be conducted at any location worldwide specified by the Government, according to individual Task Orders, including remote training sites. ?Country clearance? granted by the U.S. Ambassador to a country receiving a training program abroad will be the sole standard establishing the adequacy of security for the Contractor?s personnel to conduct a tasked mission.
