UKR will as part of the development process create attitudes for effective, moral and ethical leadership models. This phase of the consultation will not only provide effective management but also a blueprint for the development of other employed staffs of which will provide the core service personnel. These blueprints will reflect a bench mark above and beyond the national standard of in country resource companies giving us an advantage where other national companies cannot possibly achieve. As part of the consultation period we will look at the different types of team that will be put into use during operations, how they are structured, what makes a good team, the intricacies of the team and most important of all what are the main pitfalls and traps that the team can get into, and the necessary changes to the team makeup and environment to provide a cure.

Operations processes development What really matters Process developments for a an emerging project is paramount to the smooth running of the operation, below are listed of the significant areas of process development which we can consult on not in just a regional context but also globally. Procedural Development. Procedures for an emerging project is a key area of business success. As a core discipline, procedures are the back bone of discipline in this multifaceted area of operations. UKRbenchmarks for our procedural documents have stood their ground in hostile environments such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. Equipment Development. UKR have exceptional relations with a variety of defence equipment manufacturers from a diverse area of operational capabilities. There is not a piece of equipment or an area of operations that UKR cannot procure at a reasonable lead time. Services Development. UKR services to the project are the mainstay of our business. We are continually striving to develop services provision to provide added value to our clients on a long term basis. When we look at operations, what is it that really matters. There are many answers to this, and it all depends on who you ask, marketing would say it is the attraction of new customers. Customer care would say it would be the retention of existing customers, as the work as already been done to attract them. Accounting would say it was the effective budgetary management of the client accounts that what really matters. Operations would say that it would be providing what the client requires and that little bit more that elevates use from the rest.

If unavailable UKR has the capabilities to address the shortfalls in training facilities with the introduction of complete camp setup programs using defence grade supplies and accommodation units. Applicable concepts Apart from our already stated principles, there are various concepts that UKR will introduce that have been gleaned from other high risk operational areas such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. These basic concepts are taken in context of which they were developed and re-evaluated and re-engineered to fit modern day Guinea and its National Security issues. You will have the opportunity to meet with our directors and instructional representatives. We can discuss confidentially any security issues; look at specific situations / environments you want your units / agency and personnel to prepare for.

This long term contract has evolved from securing international staffs to the advisement of donor communities and the Somaliland nation and its stakeholders on national security issues surrounding the registration and Presidential election processes. Intricacies such as cascade training of 5000 + Somaliland Police officers, construction of transparent audit trails, the assessment of regional headquarters and district distribution centres, the setup of a nationwide communications system that includes five levels of communication, the setup and advisement of the National and Regional Election Security Committees, and the Police review, logistics, and communications task forces.
15. Credible experience Georgia: Ministry of the Interior Special Forces. UKR ran a nine month presidential protection training program for the Ministry of the Interior of the CIS State of Georgia, prior to the Rose Revolution of 2003. The facility started life as a former Russian Military barracks of which the design team converted to our own use, to include accommodations for 240 students, classrooms and instructor accommodation. The training facility ran a comprehensive set of training courses on weapons systems, tactical drills, offensive / defensive driving etc. The training that was provided was to be the blue print document for the eventual adoption by the Presidential close protection operatives as their bodyguard training syllabus. The training syllabus was developed by former members of the Royal Military Police Close Protection Squadron, Royalty Protection Branch (SO14), and the SAS. The main lead came from the RMCP team, followed by significant input from the RPB and SAS on technical relevance to out of theatre operations and the intricacies of Presidential protection. Along side the training facility UKR consulted on the facilitation of a full service security company who of which gained contracts from the Sheraton hotel in Tbilisi, ProCredit Bank, UGT, and BP.
