DAS
Security Agents Detachment
In order to enhance the close protection of Belgian dignitaries abroad, the SFGp established the Security Agents Detachment (DAS) cell. This cell is responsible for the selection, training, and additional instruction of these agents. We have instructors within our unit specifically dedicated to this mission. However, the trained security agents are not integrated into the unit.
DAS-Training
The DAS training forms close protection specialists in order to guide and protect the senior officials on duty abroad. Their training requires advanced physical training, as well as varied techniques such as the manipulation of multiple weapons, direct medical support, vehicle driving skills and advanced communication skills.
Candidate Profile
The agent needs to fulfil a specific psychological profile, where maturity, integrity, discretion, self-control and a certain action-intelligence is required to be able to evaluate current or future threats. At the end of the DAS training cycle, the candidates have to execute several complex exercises that reflect the reality of their future missions.
