About this ebook
Personal security detail operations is a manual on how to conduct successful security operation in a very hostile (non- permissive environment). In the manual I include aspects such as weapons training, driving techniques and patrolling and other aspects of Personal security detail operations. This can also be used for Body guarding operation which would not need the same level of armor and weapons, but some of the tactics will be applicable depending on what the level of threat is. Some sections cover escape and evasion and tactics with regards to these. The techniques and tactics can be applied in a military context humanitarian or any other area of operations where security is an issue

Personal Security Detail Operations Book 2 - Mike Harland
About the Author
I was trained for 16-17 years in Karate, reaching black belt 2nd Dan in 1991. During this period, I participated in a number of karate competitions, winning gold and a number of bronze medals in competition. From 1985-1986 did my national service in the South African Defense Force (SADF), doing border duty for 9 months in the combat area (red zone/war zone). As a 20-year-old I saw my first contact (real life shooting) as a group of ANC/ SWAPO terrorist organizations attacked our base. Although it was probably SWAPO as the ANC’s Spear of the nation
army was a bit blunt and lost every contact with SA forces.
From about 1987 till the early 90’s, I worked doing door duty at clubs. During this period in our country, badly behaved people normally took their punishment like a man, and that was where I had most of my street experience situations up until about 40 years of age. Personally, and in the capacity of a soldier and Close Protection Specialist I have used pistols and rifles extensively.
People mostly want to know what you based your training on and what experience you have. It is good for someone to ask because their life depends on the training they will receive from an instructor. You need to know that the person who is teaching you actually has experience in real combat. What does the person teaching you have to draw from as an instructor if he has no experience? Without a penchant for training in combat you won’t have the will to succeed – you need a certain disposition that predisposes you to this.
In 1992 I developed an interest in Close Protection (CP), which was a very new occupation in the public sector in South Africa at the time. There was not much in the way of sophisticated training courses for civilians. So whenever there was a possibility to train with an instructor that knew what he was talking about, we would jump at the opportunity. During the period 1992 till 2005 I attended 4 separate CP courses and a number of other related courses such as shooting in low light, advanced foot and vehicle drills, Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) recognition, unarmed combat, knife fighting, and numerous other skills and courses not mentioned here. These instructors ranged from civilian instructors to ex Special Forces (SF) and FBI certified instructors. During my CP experience, I have looked after celebrities, businessmen, royalty and diplomats.
I was able to apply IED recognition experience in counter terrorism operations. In 2000 I was tasked to come up with a plan to minimize IEDs being placed in The V&A Waterfront Cape Town.
South Africa has a tradition of hunters and shooters because of the nature of the land and its tumultuous history over the last 300 years, where hunting and fighting were the order of the day, and this gave most South Africans a good taste of reality in combat. Therefore, it was more likely that we would be exposed to weapons living in South Africa.
In the military we dealt with all sorts of weapons and equipment, such as radar and radio communications etc. High threat CP is commonly referred to as Private Security Detail (PSD), and during 2004 the conflict in Iraq attracted a lot of PSD operators from all over the world. Having military experience and about 15 years in CP by that time, I decided it would benefit my overall abilities to get some PSD experience and training.
You soon learn it takes a determined, focused and deliberate mindset balanced with self confidence that will allow you to win in a real gunfight; there is no room for negative thoughts or thoughts that detract from the winning, orientated and focused mind.
When you train for combat in reality it helps to train instinctively and to train so you react and don’t have to think about tactics because there is only time for reacting.
My experience with martial and unarmed combat spans about 38 years where I trained not just with Karate systems but also to a minor degree Aikido (which is not a self-defense system), Judo and some ground fighting. My weapons training was with various weapon systems, handguns and rifles etc. which spans about 30 years.
To better understand where my skill level was in terms of international standards, I did an advanced certificate in handgun and rifle skills to round off my weapons qualifications. This certifies a person to teach to an advanced level anywhere in the world and is internationally recognized. From approximately 1994/97 I started to develop the mobility shooting drills for handgun and rifle which you can now see on YouTube and also on Patreon see below.
During this period, I got most of my Close Protection experience and was tasked as team leader about 70 times or more. In the period 1990-1991 I studied physical education which has helped me better understand the body and how it functions. I apply this in my unarmed combat and weapons training courses.
