Guard force performance on air cargo security reflects supervision, not instruction. Security arrangements around the corporate security practice capability are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The content is relevant to those who own the wider corporate security practice agenda and to those who are held accountable for its results. A common pattern is strong design of air cargo security paired with weak follow-through. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this part of corporate security practice, not around theory headings. They leave able to brief senior management on the wider corporate security practice agenda in terms that support a decision. Across sectors, teams that rehearse air cargo security outperform teams that only plan it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this area of corporate security practice in their own setting. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the corporate security practice discipline sustainable.
