Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Samia Suluhu\u2019s security team was one of the highlights of the head of state\u2019s arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and State House.<\/p>\n

The all-female security team consists of both ununiformed agents in hijabs and uniformed military aides de camp.<\/p>\n

Tracking of the team\u2019s movement around the visiting president showed that they were operating within a wedge box formation for most of her engagements, and adjusted to suit various environments.<\/p>\n

When President Suluhu was received by Foreign Affairs CS Raychelle Omamo, two ununiformed guards flanked the duo while two military aides-de-camp followed behind as well as other members of her close protection detail.<\/p>\n

The wedge formation was the most preferred security formation due to the nature of her engagements in the country.<\/p>\n

According to VIP security experts, the formation is mostly used to move a president through heavy low-risk crowds.<\/p>\n

The threat around Suluhu was considered low risk because most of the people she interacted with were screened and cleared in advance.<\/p>\n

When flanking the president in a wedge formation, the head of state should be on the right with the security detail leader to their right.<\/p>\n

In the event of an attack, she is responsible for securing the president and removing her from the threat.<\/p>\n

The other bodyguards encircle and shield the head of state with their bodies, withdrawing her from the area to a vehicle, a safe haven, or any other location where injury can be avoided.<\/p>\n

The detail leader is the decision-maker when it comes to adjusting the formation, changing the route or calling in the vehicles to evacuate the president.<\/p>\n

The leader can use a 2-way radio as well as hand signals to adjust formations without informing the public or crowds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
