Leaders in progressive African nations understand that lasting national security is essential for genuine independence, a strong economy, and a stable society. Current threats like global terrorism, organized crime, internal conflicts, and border instability require more than just temporary solutions. They require strong, sustainable security systems.

Typical training programs from other countries often mean well, but they can accidentally make nations reliant on outside help. The skills taught may not last, the strategies may not fit the local area, and renewing contracts can empty government funds. R&H Global Protection was created with a very different idea. We want to be your strategic partner, with one main aim: to help your nation become completely responsible for its own safety.

Our way of doing things is special. It works, and it’s taught by some of the best instructors out there. Our instructors have all served in Israel's top, most experienced units: the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) special forces, the YAMAM (Israel's counter-terrorism police), and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency). These aren't just teachers; they are people who have spent years in difficult situations, protecting one of the world’s most at-risk countries. They offer not just methods, but a way of thinking that includes always finding new solutions, solving problems head-on, and staying focused on the task at hand.

The Israeli Strategy: More Than Just a Guide

To get what we do, you need to understand where it comes from. Israel has always had to depend on its people as its biggest strength. This has led to a special security strategy that puts importance on:

Being Flexible, Not Stuck in Old Ways: Our instructors teach you how to think, not just follow rules. They help your forces study their unique problems and create custom solutions, so your strategies stay ahead of those who want to cause harm.
Leadership at All Levels: In Israeli units, every person is given responsibility. We train your soldiers and officers to think like leaders, take charge, and make important choices even when things are tough.
Finding New Ideas When Needed: We encourage a culture of always doing better, where every action teaches a lesson and every problem is a chance to find a new method or piece of technology.

This way of thinking is what connects all our training programs. Each program is made to order and designed to build a key part of your national security.

Program 1: Making Your Forces Stronger (“Train the Trainer”)

This is our main program and the most important part of becoming truly secure. We don’t just train your soldiers; we find, develop, and support a new group of top instructors from your own forces. This changes security training from a cost that keeps coming back to something your nation owns and controls.

What We Want to Achieve: To build a training system within your military and police that can keep itself going and always improve. Your own lead instructors will teach in your language, understand your culture, and be able to create and change the training to deal with new threats long after we are gone.

How It Works: This is a tough, step-by-step program. First, we work with your leaders to pick officers and non-commissioned officers who have not only good skills but also the knowledge, personality, and commitment to become great teachers. These people then go through a program that includes:

High-Level Skills: They are trained to be the best in their fields, whether it's counter-terrorism, small group tactics, or getting information. They have to know the skills perfectly before they can teach them.
How to Teach: This is a key part that is often missed. We teach your people how to teach. They learn how to create courses, test students, design practice situations, and speak clearly so they can share complex information safely and well.
Leadership and Guidance: Our experienced commanders guide your future instructors, teaching them how to build trust, keep discipline, and grow the next group of leaders.

When they finish the program, these new instructors become the center of your nation's security strategy—a system that is alive, growing, and making sure your forces are excellent for years to come.

Program 2: Getting Ready for Battle (“Training from Zero”)

The strength of a nation is seen in how professional and well-controlled its forces are. This program is designed to take new people and turn them into skilled, confident, and well-disciplined soldiers or police officers who make the nation proud. Having Israeli Army Instructors in Africa has become known for building skilled, ready forces from the beginning.

What We Want to Achieve: To create a strong and professional fighting force with a solid base in military or law enforcement skills, discipline, and values.

The Course: We go far beyond simple training. Our way of doing things creates a deep understanding of important ideas through constant, real-world practice. The course includes:

Knowing Weapons and Shooting Well: We train recruits not just to shoot at targets, but to use their weapon naturally, making good choices when under pressure in a fight.
Helping Those Wounded in Battle: Every soldier and officer learns to be a first responder, able to save lives on the battlefield or at a crime scene.
Small Group Tactics: We build teams that work together, are deadly, and can think for themselves. They learn to control their area by moving well, talking to each other, and using their weapons correctly.
Discipline and Values: We work with your leaders to create a strong sense of duty, honesty, and respect for the law, so your forces protect the nation and its people with honor.

Program 3: Making Top Units Even Better (Advanced Special Operations)

Your special forces are used for the most important, dangerous tasks. They are the best of the best. Our program to make these units better is led by those who have served in Israel's most respected special forces and the YAMAM—known around the world as a top counter-terrorism unit. It is designed to make them even better at what they do.

What We Want to Achieve: To raise your special units to a world-class level, so they can perform the most difficult national security tasks with perfect skill and cause the least possible harm to others.

The Training: This is like a graduate-level course in special operations. We look at what your unit can already do and then add new methods and types of missions, including:

Raids Based on Information: Using information from your agencies (possibly trained by our Shin Bet veterans) to find and capture important targets.
Advanced Close Quarters Battle (CQB): Using the quick, aggressive, and precise methods of Israeli CT units for saving hostages and attacking strongholds.
Secret Operations and Information Gathering: Training in watching, avoiding being watched, and getting information in dangerous places.
Planning and Practicing Missions Together: A complete plan where information, operations, and supplies are combined into one plan that is practiced until it becomes automatic.

Special Programs for Total National Protection

Growing Leaders: A class for your top officers focusing on how to plan operations, lead different groups together, and make choices in today's complex warfare.
Developing Information and Security Agencies: Led by our Shin Bet veterans, this secret program builds a nation's ability to gather information. We teach how to find agents, get information from people, study that information, and give useful reports to national leaders.
Protecting Borders: We train your border units in finding those trying to cross illegally, stopping smuggling, and using technology along with traditional tracking skills to protect your nation's borders.
