Counter-terrorism Training for US Companies Working Overseas
Military demobilization of foreign countries post conflict resolution can be a scary time for private companies with continuing operations on the ground when the political climate could turn in an instant. By incorporating security practices and counterterrorism training into the assistance provided to private companies working overseas in war-torn regions, Archival Institute is helping private companies operate in continued safety after much of the troops are called home. These training programs are also included in Archival Institute’s Private Sector Engagements with private companies designed to keep personnel and resources safe from a range of local threats. Combined with threat and risk assessment, companies can also use these services to lower liability and improve the performance of their international operations.
