At the beginning of December before the Gazi team

went on their annual leave they attended a training course whose objective was to increase the team’s efficiency which is important as it will aid the team in becoming better acquainted with all the different bush skills needed for a team to be highly effective in the field. The trust organized a training program run by the British Army. This was attended by all the de-snaring teams. We were taught how to read a map and use a compass, how to give first aid, different forms of communication, how to best set an ambush and organize our operations as well as how to carry our arrests with minimum amount of risk to the team members.
