THE SAS EXPERIENCE
The Special Air Service (SAS) are recognised as the best Special Forces unit in the world and their exploits from the deserts of Africa to the jungles of Asia are the stuff off legend. Shrouded in secrecy for obvious reasons, their techniques and skills have remained a closely guarded secret – until now.
The techniques and methods of the SAS call for teams to work cohesively together, thinking ‘outside the box’ in time pressured environments and as such, they are directly transferable to civilian corporate situations. For the first time, former SAS instructors are ready to divulge their secrets and apply their methods to corporate groups wishing to experience the thrills and expertise of the unique life of a Special Forces team.
First of all though, rest assured that you will not be expected to have the same elite fitness levels of a real SAS trooper. These courses are designed to be handled comfortably by men and women of all fitness levels and abilities, and the instructors are very sensitive to not forcing people to do anything they do not want to do, although they will push you a little to make the training realistic and worthwhile!
The SAS Experience Day
This day is designed to give your group a taste of life in a real SAS unit and provide a number of scenarios to encourage groups to work cohesively as a team. The instructors, some of who have served on active service in The Falklands, the Gulf and the Iranian Embassy siege, will teach groups various skills, e.g. patrolling and hostage rescue. By the end of the day, your team will be carrying out actual SAS missions in realistic environments.
Sample sections of the day include:
Tactical Abseiling
Close Quarter Battle (CQB)
Room Combat
Unarmed Combat
Camouflage and Concealment
Patrolling Skills
Reaction to Enemy Activity
The day is made as realistic as possible (whilst remaining totally safe), you will be dressed in all the SAS kit and firing real blank firing weapons with flashes and explosions going off all around you!
The concept is flexible and can be tailored to meet your requirements. They can last a day or a weekend nearly anywhere in the country.
