The aim of ISET is to significantly enhance the trainee’s combat survivability, force protection and team effectiveness, providing essential operational confidence and reassurance to enhance their security posture.

The purpose of the training is to ensure selected personnel are adequately skilled to operate specific to their roles as advisors or guardian angels while on deployment.

ISET packages were facilitated by Headquarters 1st Division, Operation Force Generation (OPGEN) Branch in-conjunction with Headquarters Air Command.
