Reference No. FED01
US Federal Agency: United States Department
of Homeland Security
Agency Sub-division or Unit: United States Coast Guard
Tier-1 Naval Assets including US Maritime Safety and Security Teams (MSST),
Pacific Area Command Tactical Law Enforcement Detachments (TACLET) and other
units (LEDET).
Categories: Military
Federal Law Enforcement
Special Operations
Implementation Level: Phase 03
Project Dates: December 2003 - Today
Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to build a USCG MSST DT program capability
directly supporting Department of Homeland Security operational commitments
and readiness. This directly supports USCG Spec Ops vice commandants order
to define and standardize all MSST operation skill sets in a manner capable
of functioning within the Coast Guard System. To further more develop a system
to assess and evaluate operational readiness in a standardized and quantifiable
method.
Project Background: MSST (Maritime Safety and Security Team - Counter-terrorism
mission) and LEDET (Law Enforcement Detachments - Counter Narco-Terrorism)
missions are inherently dangerous for USCG personnel. This danger increases
substantially during such high-risk operations as Unannounced Night-time Boarding
(UNB). The possibility of boarding teams encountering a combatant crew is
far greater during a UNB than under ââ?¬Å?normalââ?¬Â non-compliant boarding circumstances.
Professional, standardized and proper training is crucial to ensure that a
UNB boarding team will be ready and able to counter any threat that may arise
during the execution of a UNB or other similar specialized operational tactic.
USCG PACAREA MSST Directives specifies a validated operational requirement
to ensure that USCG high-risk boarding teams are fully prepared for the worst
case scenario by providing specialized training in the standardized enhancement
of USCG Boarding Officer/ Boarding Team Member (BO/BTM) minimum personal qualification
standards (PQS). The USCG at that time possessed no standardized enhanced
defensive tactics training, supporting operational training sustainment module
or comprehensive qualification process that meets this requirement. Current
MLE active countermeasure training programs, although applicable to academy-level
standard Boarding Officer/ Boarding Team Member, were not designed for the
inherent operational requirements to conduct such high-risk operations as
Unannounced Night-time Boarding (UNB) in support of both MSST and LEDET missions.
At the time operational requirement were not being met. OSG was called in
on implementation level Phase 01, Phase 02 and Phase 03

International Operations
Implementation Level: Phase 02
Project Dates: April 1998 - Today
Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide multi-location service-level
training for Marines ranging from officers, to instructor trainers to Marines
preparing for OIF. To this day OSG provides on-location training at various
US Marine bases.
Project Background: After first working w/
US Marines at
Gunsite
Academy in the spring of 1998 members
of OSG have provided training services for various Marine bases from coast
to coast. Back in the mid-to-late nineties, the Marine Corps was still in
transition (the old LINE training program was suspended) and with no DT programs
in place, members of OSG were hired to provide intermediate level training
for Marines involved w/ critical special weapons and national security-related
missions. Later on OSG training programs were introduced into the current
Marine Corp training program.
In working closely with command-level
staff, OSG members designed and implemented an intensive, physically demanding
and uniquely mission related close quarters combat curriculum for the Marines
of various commands performing physical security and anti-terrorism missions
long before 9/11.
For one particular unit, instruction was
divided into three central blocks of training; Counter Weapons Retention,
Combative Tactics and Lethal/ Non-lethal Takedowns. The Counter Weapons Retention
section instructed Marines armed with the M-16A2 Service Rifle and the M-9
Beretta 9mm Service Pistol, while wearing defensive body armor (Kevlar Helmet
and Fragmentation Vest) and 782 Service Equipment, in weapons retention against
single and multiple assailant scenarios.
The second interval
focused on armed security personnel executing combative tactics against aggressors
in unarmed attacks as well as defense against contact weapons.
In the third
block pf training, Marines were taught defensive lethal and non-lethal escapes,
neck manipulations and attack defenses from the rear.

Implementation Level: Phase 02
Project Dates: March 1998 - Today
Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide multiple service-level training
for basic agents through advanced agents as well as specialty teams.
Project Background: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Office of Training
is the preeminent law enforcement training organization for national and international
drug law enforcement training. The mission of the Office of Training is to
provide technical and non-technical training to DEA personnel and appropriate
domestic and foreign police agencies that will improve individual as well
as organizational performance and assist in achieving the agency's mission
and performance goals as well as those of their assigned police agencies.
The
DEA
Training
Academy
is used for Basic Agent training, Basic Diversion Investigator training, Basic
Intelligence Research Specialist training, Basic Forensic Science training,
professional and executive development training, certification training, and
specialized training. The Academy is also used to conduct drug law enforcement
seminars for state and local law enforcement personnel, and through the use
of specially equipped classrooms, international drug training seminars for
foreign law enforcement officials. The Academy's international classroom has
the capacity to simultaneously translate an instructor's course of instruction
into three different languages.
While trainees reside and
attend class at the
DEA
Training
Academy, firearms training, physical fitness and
defensive tactics training, defensive driving training, and all practical
application exercises continue to be held at the
FBI
Academy. The facilities required for these types of training are used
jointly by both the DEA and FBI.
Since 1998 OSG has been
providing training services to US DEA field offices and in September 2001
began providing training services at US DEA headquarters at the main training
academy in
Quantico
VA.
From that time to today OSG continues to provide quality enhanced agent training
in the area of defensive tactics instruction specific to federal law enforcement
officer safety and operation.

Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide multiple service-level training
for basic agents through advanced agents as well as specialty teams training
at FBI Headquarters, WFO and other field offices.
Project Background:
Since 1998 OSG has been providing training services to US FBI
field office agents and in September 2001 began providing training services
at US FBI headquarters at the main training academy in
Quantico
VA. From that time to today OSG continues
to provide quality enhanced agent training in the area of defensive tactics
instruction specific to federal law enforcement officer safety and operation.
In mid 2001 OSG began meetings with
Mark
Babyak Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) at the
FBI
Academy in
Quantico,
VA
who at that time was the Program Manager for the FBI's Defensive Tactics program.
After preliminary meetings, physical demonstrations and executing
due diligence in checking referrals, SSA Babyak requested that OSG instructors
travel to Quantico and deliver an advanced agent training course to both FBI
and DEA senior level Defensive Tactics Instructors. Those instructors were
the ones who taught all of the new Special Agent Trainees in defensive tactics
for their respective agencies. SSA Babyak noted that his goal was to provide
a degree of training in specialized personal safety and defense to all instructors
so that they could incorporate portions of that training into the New Agents
Training Program.
OSG instructors were subsequently requested to travel back
to the US Justice Training Academy to provide continued training to US FBI
instructor trainers in that area on several occasions throughout the following
few years. Those portions of what OSG taught pertaining to specialized agent
safety and contact weapon defense were then incorporated by many of those
instructors into the training of their New Agent classes.
To this day one of the
members of OSG (
Steve Tarani) is considered a consultant to
the US FBI Defensive Tactics program regarding Contact Weapons and specialized
agent training (see attached November 2002 US FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin).

Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide multiple service-level training
for basic agents through advanced agents as well as specialty teams training
at US FAMS Headquarters in
Atlantic City,
Chicago
and other field offices.
Project Background: The
Mission of the Federal Air Marshal Service is to be responsible
for and protect air security and promote public confidence in our nation's
civil aviation system through the effective deployment of Federal Air Marshals
in order to detect, deter and defeat hostile acts targeting
U.S.
air carriers,
airports, passengers and crews.
Every Federal Air Marshal
candidate must successfully complete a two-phase training program to fulfill
the requirements necessary to become a Federal Air Marshal (FAM). The initial
phase consists of a seven-week basic law enforcement officer training program
conducted at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (F.L.E.T.C.) in
Artesia,
NM. The FAM basic training has been specifically tailored to prepare
recruits for the unique and critical mission of the Federal Air Marshal Service.
The core curriculum taught during FAM basic training is drawn from the following
disciplines: constitutional law, basic marksmanship, physical fitness, defensive
tactics, emergency medical and fundamental law enforcement investigative/administrative
practices. FAM candidates who successfully complete the basic training curriculum
continue to Phase II training conducted at the
Federal
Air Marshal
Training
Center
in
Atlantic City,
NJ.
Phase II training is dedicated
to providing FAM candidates with the knowledge, skills and abilities specifically
applicable to the environment in which they will perform their duties. Emphasis
is placed on developing advanced firearms and defensive techniques proficiency,
advanced operational tactics, strength conditioning and aerobic training,
aircraft systems emergency procedures and legal and administrative protocols.
Candidates who successfully complete Phase II have demonstrated the ability
to carry out the duties and tasks necessary to fulfill the mission of the
Federal Air Marshal Service. Upon graduation from Phase II, newly appointed
Federal Air Marshals are assigned to one of 21 field offices to begin flying
missions.
At the time of the building
of the
Atlantic City office, a team
of civilian evaluators were hired by the FAMS to determine optimal training
programs of instruction. After a number of demonstrations, courses and lectures,
elements of the OSG Contact Weapons Defense and Terrorist Mindset lecture
were incorporated.

Systems Design (ISD) for the aviation Crewmember Self-defense program.
Project Background: In the spring of 2003 the Operational
Skills Group was asked, along with several other subject matter experts in
various areas, to take part in and contribute to a program being held under
the auspices of TSA. The purpose of this was to develop a defensive tactics
program that would be effective in the unique environment of an aircraft.
One of the TSA personnel present recorded the
information
and techniques discussed and provided by OSG and others present. That individual
later used the material he obtained during that time to piece together a DT
program specific to an aircraft environment. The material that OSG provided
pertaining to defense against contact weapon attacks is currently a part of
that TSA program.

Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide the US NDA DIRNSA Security
Staff Executive Protection Unit with the physical skills needed to counter
the wide variety of threats - both armed and unarmed to ensure protection
of the principal.
Project Background: The National Security Agency/Central
Security Service is
America
's
premier cryptologic organization. It coordinates, directs, and performs highly
specialized activities to protect
U.S.
government information systems and produce
foreign signals intelligence information. A high technology organization,
NSA is on the frontiers of communications and data processing. It is also
one of the most important centers of foreign language analysis and research
within the government.
The US NDA DIRNSA Security Staff Executive
Protection Unit Special Agent in Charge was looking for a stand-alone program
of instruction designed specifi
cally for small unit
executive protection operations, which provides protective detail personnel
with the physi
cal skills needed in a non-traditional
and intermediate approach with emphasis on detachment, cover and evacuation
rather than engagement. The requirements of such a program must include active
countermeasures conducive to the isolation of a threat, extrication, keeping
the unit in tact and enabling the unit to engage in all activities with or
without firearms,
Additional concern was placed upon
Special Agent Personal Safety and Defense both on and off duty.
OSG was selected to provide this training
service. The final delivery program included three criti
cal skill sets including Contact Weapon Defense, Standup/ Ground Control
Compliance and Weapon Retention/ Counter-retention.

Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide the US DOE Nonproliferation
and National Security Institute with efficient and effective training of federal
and contractor personnel who are or may become involved in protecting vital
national resources.
Project Background: The US Department of Energy (DOE) facilities
located throughout the contiguous
United States
are responsible for producing, storing,
and handling significant quantities of nuclear materials, weapons, classified
information, and equipment that require extensive protection in the interest
of national security. DOE employs uniformed, specialized safeguards and security
personnel as key elements in the protection of each facility.
In 1984 the DOE Safeguards
and
Security
Central
Training
Academy (S&S CTA) was established at Kirtland
AFB in
Albuquerque,
NM. The CTA provided DOE safeguards
and security personnel with standardized training in a broad variety of disciplines,
including tactical and firearms; crisis negotiation; management and instructional
training; information and personal security; and material control and accountability.
In September 1998 the DOE and Nonproliferation and National Security Institute
was formed to expand training operations into three academies to include:
Nonproliferation and Arms Control, Safeguards and Security, and Emergency
Management.
OSG members have been involved
with the CTA in support of standardized training, establishing and maintaining
a professional instructor cadre, support and to upgrade anon going training
evaluation program. To date one of the members on staff at OSG is currently
the DOE/ CTA lead instructor and Subject Matter Expert in Intermediate Force
and non-deadly force who is additionally a member of the Federal Law Enforcement
Training and Accreditation (FLETA) Defensive Tactics Quality Panel tasked
with establishing Federal Law Enforcement training minimums and standards.
Several OSG members have additionally contributed
to the ongoing development and implementation of both the DOE/ CTA Intermediate
Force (Defensive Tactics Instruction) and
Live
Fire
Range (Small Arms Instruction) training.

Project Dates: December 2001 - Today
Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide Special Agents of the United
States Secret Service with an awareness and specialized training in the areas
of confined operation and at extreme close quarters.
Project Background: The United States Secret Service is
mandated by statute and executive order to carry out two significant missions: protection and criminal investigations. The Secret Service protects the
President and Vice President, their families, heads of state, and other designated
individuals; investigates threats against these protectees; protects the White
House, Vice President's Residence, Foreign Missions, and other buildings within
Washington,
D.C.;
and plans and implements security designs for designated National Special
Security Events. The Secret Service also investigates violations of laws relating
to counterfeiting of obligations and securities of the United States; financial
crimes that include, but are not limited to, access device fraud, financial
institution fraud, identity theft, computer fraud; and computer-based attacks
on our nation's financial, banking, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Certain Secret Service protective methods are generally the
same for all individuals protected. Permanent protectees, such as the President
and the First Lady, have details of special agents assigned to them. Temporary
protectees, such as candidates and foreign dignitaries, have details of special
agents on temporary assignment from Secret Service field offices. The Secret
Service does not discuss methods or means in any detail, however generally
speaking, the advance team surveys each site to be visited. From these surveys,
the members determine manpower, equipment, hospitals, and evacuation routes
for emergencies. Fire, rescue, and other public service personnel in the community
are alerted. A command post is established with full communications facilities.
The assistance of the military, federal, state, county, and local law enforcement
organizations is a vital part of the entire security operation.
Familiarity with military,
federal, state, county and local law enforcement is one of the key attributes
of Operational Skills Group and is reflected in its methodology and programs
of instruction. All training provided to USSS agents by OSG is modified to
reflect this unique inter-agency relationship.

staff and support personnel with the physical skills needed to counter the
wide variety of threats - both armed and unarmed to ensure federal agent personal
safety and protection as well as the personal safety and protection of designated
protectee(s) both domestically and abroad.
Project Background: Various components of the IC are involved in the collection
of
information concerning intelligence activities directed against the
US
, international terrorist
and narcotics activities, and other hostile activities directed against the
US
by foreign powers, organizations, persons, and their agents. The provision
of protective training services in support of the performance of such authorized
specialized activities within the
US
and abroad is additionally required.
Intelligence community employees, US military, Foreign Service Officers, law enforcement
professionals and related support personnel, because of their wide range of
activities, are subject to peacetime detention by unfriendly governments and/
or captivity by terrorist groups. It is to the benefit of both mission success
and the personal safety of these forward deployed individuals whether embedded
or otherwise that specialized training in the areas of Situational Awareness, Pre-travel Preparations,
Personal Planning, Family Interaction, Security Considerations, Location and
mode of Transportation, Personal Safety and Defense, Abduction Prevention,
Terrorist/Criminal Targeting, Soft vs. Hard Targets, Counter-surveillance,
Avoidance and Detection be provided to minimize personnel liability and sustain mission integrity.
After significant scrutiny and background
investigation, the Operational Skills Group was hand-selected by the community
to augment, deliver and in some cases develop various courses of instruction
to support these and related training programs.

Implementation Level: Phase 01
Project Dates: February 1998 - Today
Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide state-level Bureau of Law Enforcement
level training to state-level law enforcement employees. In almost all state
level requests, state agency seek to improve the level of instruction and
to provide safe, realistic and well-researched use of force training.
Project Background: State-level law enforcement, Bureau
of Law Enforcement and State Criminal Justice agencies fall under the auspice
of the US Department of Justice and generally conform to Federal Use of Force
policies and practices. However, each individual state or Criminal Justice
department within that state within the law enforcement structure may add
appropriate legislation and/ or policy applicable to that particular state
constitution and use-of-force guidelines.
Over the many years of providing state-level criminal justice
training, the members of the Operational Skills Group are sensitive to these
requirements and more often than not are fully briefed prior to course delivery
in order to make appropriate changes to the course curriculum or instructor
training package.
In addition to state guidelines are the state Peace Officer
Standards of Training (POST) or Department of Public Safety (DPS) or Law Enforcement
Training Board (LETB) or Department of Law Enforcement (DLE), etc., which
set stringent peace officer training standards. OSG complies with industry
standards set by US POST and DPS regulatory bodies. Such compliances include
industry standard instructor/ student ratios, safety protocol, program delivery
protocol, outlines, hourly distributions, formatting, and supporting documentation.
A vast majority of the OSG Defensive Tactics Instruction
modules of instruction maintain POST/ DPS/ LETB active level status. A complete
list of these state level course approval certifications may be submitted
upon written request on agency letterhead with supervisory signature.
OSG members pay strict adherence to these state
regulations in all Intermediate Force (Defensive Tactics Instruction) as well
as
Live
Fire
Range (Small Arms Instruction) training.

Project Dates: August 2000 - Today
Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to provide state-level Department of Corrections
Prisoner Control enhancement training.
Project Background: The
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) oversees the
activities of its several boards and divisions. The Department is responsible
for maintaining efficient and cohesive correctional policy among its divisions
and ensuring compliance with the law and executive directives. The Secretary
of the Department is a member of the Governor's Cabinet and advises the Governor
on correctional matters.
In addition to state guidelines are the state Peace Officer
Standards of Training (POST) or Department of Public Safety (DPS) or Law Enforcement
Training Board (LETB) or Department of Law Enforcement (DLE), etc., which
set stringent peace officer training standards. OSG complies with industry
standards set by US POST and DPS regulatory bodies. Such compliances include
industry standard instructor/ student ratios, safety protocol, program delivery
protocol, outlines, hourly distributions, formatting, and supporting documentation.
A vast majority of the OSG Defensive Tactics Instruction
modules of instruction maintain POST/ DPS/ LETB active level status. A complete
list of these state level course approval certifications may be submitted
upon
written request on agency letterhead with supervisory
signature.
OSG programs of instruction have assisted correctional
staff by providing options in defending themselves from inmate manufactured
weapons - an invaluable asset in daily operations at a Level 4 security facility.
The simplicity of the techniques affords even the ââ?¬Å?less than athleticââ?¬Â correctional
employees viable self-preservation resources.
