Describe the Single Agent Escort.

• A. AIC only; 360/720 coverage; arms length
• B. AIC offset behind Protectee; ADV in front of Protectee
• C. AIC in front of Protectee; 360/720 coverage
• D. AIC in front of Protectee; AL in front

Answer: (A)

In a single agent escort, one protector must provide continuous, all-around protection for the person being escorted. The AIC posture is used as the sole protective stance, meaning the agent maintains constant 360-degree awareness and readiness to respond, without relying on other types of coverage. Being at arm’s length keeps the protector close enough to intervene immediately while allowing the protected person some mobility. The 360/720 coverage idea emphasizes maintaining that full circle of surveillance around the protectee, so threats from any direction can be detected and addressed quickly. Other options would require additional personnel or place protective coverage in front or behind, which isn’t feasible when only one agent is present.
