Stage T-1 — MECO: Operational Readiness
Target audience: Business travellers, NGO workers, expats, and isolated workers operating in uncertain environments who require both intellectual conditioning and technical preparation.
Objective: Build team confidence and immediate individual and collective reaction capacity in the event of an unexpected incident. Learn to achieve operational readiness (MECO), master mission preparation tools, and respond effectively in insecure contexts.
Effective security starts with people who know how to respond — not just what to do, but when and why.
