About This Workshop

The Recognition, Analysis, Mapping and Surveillance (RAMS) Workshop enhances the ability of Facility Security Managers, Disaster Preparedness Managers, Emergency Managers, and Law Enforcements and Counter Terrorism Teams to identify potential adversary surveillance activities before advance attack planning phases can begin.

Through classroom training, field exercises and group discussion, you will learn how to site specifically map out areas of concern and effectively staff/monitor areas during heightened threat levels or mission essential vulnerable operations.  Effectively the results from conducting a correct analysis/mapping will yield site specific vulnerabilities, Adversary Surveillance locations, Adversary Operational Areas and Surveillance Detection locations. 

One of the critical areas that planners and managers seem to struggle with is mapping out their areas of concern and adhering to the outcome that the analysis process has produced.  The problem is the placement of personnel in incorrect and operationally damaging locations.  It appears as though surveillance team members are ending up in their adversary’s surveillance locations and not locations where the adversary can be observed from. 

The RAMS Workshop will clearly define surveillance member field placement, and enhance member skills by emphasizing the correct areas to focus on.  Also, methods on movement to and from a member location will be discussed and incorporated into the field mapping process.

This practicum is applicable for CONUS/OCONUS environments. You will conduct an actual vulnerability assessment which will develop their individual skills in a methodical and practical manner.   A full understanding will be gained on how and where to stage personnel in positions for detecting surveillance.   

You will also have the opportunity to incorporate your course learned skills by completing a detailed hands on field practical.  This exercise will educate and enable you to arrive home and begin detailed surveillance analysis on your own facilities and related areas.  Click here to learn more.

A Homeland Defense Journal "Certificate of Completion" will be provided to all attendees upon conclusion of the workshop.
