Journey Management and Convoy Security for Overland Operations

Moving staff, cash, fuel and equipment across long distances exposes organisations to ambush, hijacking, breakdown and border delays on some of Africa's most demanding routes. This course builds a disciplined journey management system covering route risk, convoy discipline, communications and incident response. Delegates learn to plan and control overland movements so that people and cargo arrive safely.
