Who opens the Protectee's door upon departures?

• A. ADV
• B. AIC
• C. PSD
• D. SL

Answer: (A)

The ability to move a Protectee safely hinges on who handles the physical transition during departures. The Advance team member, known as the ADV, is responsible for preparing the route, securing the environment, and orchestrating the Protectee’s exit. This includes the moment of door opening to ensure a smooth, controlled egress away from potential disruptors or crowds. The Agent in Charge (AIC) oversees the overall operation, directing the team, but the actual task of opening the door and facilitating the first step outside is performed by the ADV. The PSD maintains security during the move, ready to respond to threats, while the SL coordinates with outside agencies or venues. So, the door is opened by the ADV.
