"RAID" Intervention

AMBARISK scenario: Attack on a VIP convoy

Scenario inspired by the missions to protect high-ranking personalities under particular threat, as carried out by RAID operators for ambassadors working in crisis-prone countries. Preparatory work including securing the area with precursors, the use of a drone and a dog team. Attack on the convoy with the setting up of the personal security system by the close protection operators.

"GIGN" Intervention

150 people are taken hostage by terrorists inside an amphitheatre. The GIGN is quickly involved in the hostage rescue mission, setting up the crisis centre and mobilising the Group's capabilities and resources to implement an immediate assault plan. The GIGN launches the assault, and the soldiers enter the amphitheatre through the various entrances, making progress and neutralising the terrorists.

To ensure that the terrorists are not carrying explosives or that the auditorium was not booby-trapped, the GIGN deploys its specific capabilities: special resources (indoor drone), traps, dogs (explosive/assault). The doctor and nurse mobilised for the operation provide first aid to the injured. The hostages are released at the same time.

"Sécurité Civile" Intervention

1st phase: the intervention and reconnaissance robot is sent to the package, giving us an initial view.

2nd phase: a deminer in heavy intervention clothing moves over the package to position an X-ray radioscopy device (which will show what the package contains).
3rd phase: the X-ray equipment is removed and a disrupter gun is used to neutralise the package (no shots are fired).

At the end of the exercise, the deminer explains the consequences of the operation by setting up a safety pause after the package has been dismantled. The deminer returns to the scene to make sure that all the components of the package have been dismantled and to rule out any possible danger before handing over to the technical and scientific police.
