In 1989, EO was approached by the SADF Special Forces and asked to develop special warfare training packages for Special Forces operatives.
These packages covered special warfare subjects related to :
Covert Intelligence Gathering Operations - Counter Espionage Operations
- Covert Operations
Operatives trained in these areas of warfare were soon deployed within and outside of South Africa with great operational success by the Special Forces. Word of their professionalism and success-rate spread, and soon EO was approached by a major South African mining house and asked to provide assistance and training to executives within the mining industry in order to counter both white-collar crime and the trafficking of high-value commodities.
The role EO played in establishing this special task force to counter crime in the mining industry in South Africa, did not go unnoticed, and soon EO was approached to assist a mining house in a neighbouring African state.
