RUSSIAN SPECIAL FORCES ANTI-TERROR
AND BODYGUARD TRAINING. MOSCOW, RUSSIA

20-28 SEPTEMBER 2002

PROGRAM. The VITYAZ Special Forces (Spetsnaz) Division, through its founder and commander, Col. Sergei I. Lisiuck, has authorized a group of foreigners to undergo the actual VIP protection and anti-terror training of this most elite unit within the Russian Special Forces, the vaunted Red Berets.

Up to ten hours of training per day will be provided at the secure training bases of VITYAZ, including its new Anti-Terror Training facility, the Balashikha training base and obstacle course, airborne training facility and others, all located outside Moscow. Accommodations will be either new military barracks or hotel type facilities for traveling officers. The course will include individual and team close protection skills, psychology of assailants and terrorists, firearms techniques, hostage rescue, hand-to-hand combat, and intelligence gathering. The group will have the opportunity to develop skills on the obstacle course, armored personnel carrier operation, knife and shovel fighting, and weapons disarming. Each group member will receive a Spetsnaz uniform required for use on all bases. No videotaping will be permitted, and only those photographs authorized by the assigned Russian cadre may be taken.

In addition to receiving a certificate for graduating this program, group members will be trained in scuba techniques and underwater hand-to-hand combat, an operational specialty of Vityaz, which traces its roots to the Russian Navy Commandos. To participate in the dive training portion, each person must hold the minimum basic open water scuba certification with a recognized scuba association. Parachute training will also be offered. Individuals may decline to participate in the dive and jump portions of the program, and, if they have completed all other course requirements, will still be eligible to receive a graduation certificate.

In addition to the training, tours of Moscow and free time in the city will be available. Except for those making their own travel arrangements, all participants will depart JFK on 20 September, and return on Saturday 28 September 2002. The trip cost will include airfare from JFK to Moscow and return, outstanding and diverse training, and base accommodations. Meals will be provided at the training sites, or bag lunches prepared for those times when the group will be away from the base dining hall. The cost does not include meals or other expenses incurred outside the base.

REGISTRATION. Each group applicant will be responsible for obtaining a valid passport prior to final payment. Visas will be obtained by the trip organizers; however each member must pay for his own visa application fee and photos. Applicants should contact the trip managers at the address, phone number or email address listed at the top of this announcement. Total cost of the trip has not been finalized at this time; however, it will not exceed US$3,400.00. The trip sponsors are working to make this trip as inexpensive as possible.

The Russian military has limited the number of participants. Unlike prior training trips, this program is the actual training received by elite members of the Russian special forces, not mere exhibitions.
