Military Support Technical Capability


Military SupportBuilding on GbE’s proven training experience in

  • Program Development
  • Management Support
  • Logistical Support
  • Base Operations Services
  • Security Systems
  • Facilities Engineering Services

GbE established the Special Operations and Training Department (SO/TD) to provide a wide spectrum of military support services, especially training support and support services. These services also are appropriate to multiple non-DOD clients (e.g., Department of Homeland Security).

In its initial year, GbE specifically focused on the ongoing US Army requirements for Global War on Terrorism pre-deployment training and COB/OPFOR role-player support.  GbE has conducted OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM and OPERATION EDURING FREEDOM (Afghanistan) COB and OPFOR role-player services for First US Army.

GbE also has provided specialized pre-deployment training utilizing subject matter expert instructors.  These specialist instructors trained more than 10,000 military personnel at Ft. Benning, Ft. Dix, Ft. Drum, Ft. Riley, Camp Atterberry and Camp Shelby.

GbE has demonstrated its capability to build upon the prior military, civilian and CENTCOM AOR experience of our key personnel to execute large-scale training and training support programs nationally.

Role-Player Services


Leader Training at Ft. DixGbE has significant experience providing role-players to support OPFOR/COB training related to Southwest Asia. The majority of these role-players are natives of Iraq or Afghanistan.  This significantly enhances both the training environment and the training value as they use their personal life experiences and their extensive GbE OPFOR/COB role-playing experience to recreate the same or similar characteristics that could be experienced or encountered in the Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations.  GbE’s OPFOR/COB role-player support will immerse deploying units in a realistic setting while they train critical individual and collective skills that are critical to Stability Operations and Support Operations (SOSO).

GbE provides self-sustaining OPFOR/ Threat Groups that provide:

  • Permanently modified semi-automatic blank-firing 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov rifles (blank adapters welded and pinned on) that are fully compliant with Federal and state law, with magazines, 7.62x39mm blank ammunition, theater-specific web-gear, and blank-firing “9mm” pistols (legal non-guns under both Federal and state law that are modified to fire 8mm blanks with barrels specifically designed to fire blanks).
  • Scenario-specific, theater-specific clothing.  Clothing is specifically chosen to replicate clothing commonly worn within the subject region.
  • Other scenario-specific equipment and support items are available as required, including:  protest signs, posters, individual IDs/passes, documents with “intelligence value,” et al.
Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape Training (SERE)

GbE understands the critical nature of providing SERE training to members of the military most susceptible to capture and can develop and provide regional and service-specific lectures, computer-based training, field instruction, and operational training phases that best prepare students for situations they likely will encounter. GbE has the staff qualifications to provide high quality Level “C” SERE training to military personnel in a manner that ensures each student graduates with confidence and the ability to employ SERE tactics, techniques, and procedures necessary to return with honor regardless of the circumstances of isolation.

Security Operations Training


Since September 11, 2001 concerns related to the security of our country, our families, and our workplaces have increased significantly. However, as with any threat, if we do not prepare to address the potential threats, train to prevent a potential adversary from taking terrorist actions, and routinely testing the planning and level of training we will become complacent. GbE does not specialize in efforts to train individuals on security related to protecting their families but we do provide specialized training and services to ensure the workplace is secure. All training is modified to suit the requirements of the specific facility and the operations performed within the site. 

GbE has the staff qualifications to provide both private and public sector organizations with the following:

    • Threat Analysis
    • Vulnerability Assessment
    • Counterterrorism Planning
    • Bomb and Improvised Explosive Device Recognition Training
    • Physical Security Assessments
    • Risk Assessments
    • Physical Security Plan
    • Security Drill and Exercise Planning
    • Port Facility Security Assessment
    • Security Policy and Procedures
    • Security Drill Observers and Referee Training
    • Security Force Personnel Training
    • Employee Security Awareness Training
    • Security Equipment Evaluation
