Executive Protection Programs and Training

Training the best to protect the best

Tomahawk Strategic Solutions delivers advanced executive protection training and program advisory services designed for corporate security organizations operating in complex and evolving risk environments.

Our programs strengthen operational capability, enhance decision-making under pressure, and reduce organizational liability through disciplined, measurable, and repeatable training methodologies.

Armed Executive Protection (AEP) Program

The Armed Executive Protection (AEP) Program is designed for established executive protection teams seeking to elevate proficiency beyond foundational skills.

This progressive training pathway enhances armed response capability, tactical coordination, and emergency decision-making in high-risk environments.

AEP Baseline

Establishes the core operational foundation for armed executive protection.

  • Threat identification and situational awareness
  • De-escalation and behavioral recognition
  • Critical thinking and decision-making under stress
  • Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) for EP (8-hour certification)
  • Firearms safety, manipulation, and qualification
  • Scenario-based field training exercises (FTXs)

 

Participants are evaluated across tactical performance, communication, medical response, and weapon safety and proficiency.

AEP Tactical Response

After participants complete the Baseline Course, this course builds upon those skills to improve and increase preparedness. It can include:

  • Tactical movement to and with a principal
  • Interior and exterior attack response
  • Vehicle-based tactics
  • Use of cover, concealment, distance, and angles
  • Team communications and emergency management

 

This course strengthens survivability, confidence, and team cohesion during threat events.

AEP Sustainment

After participants complete the Baseline and Tactical Response Courses, this custom-built training block builds upon those skills. It can include:

  • Advanced firearms refinement
  • Scenario-based tactical evolutions
  • Strategic response planning
  • Targeted remediation from prior evaluations

 

Each training block builds upon the previous sustainment training. Certification requires sustainment training every six months, including firearms qualification.
