Description

The Department of State's National Foreign Affairs Training Center, Foreign Service Institute (FSI) provides training and professional development to personnel of the Department of State and the Foreign Service community. The Transition Center (TC) division of FSI offers security awareness training to foreign affairs agency personnel and their eligible family members in the form of the Advanced Security Overseas Seminar (ASOS) program. The ASOS program requires the services of a qualified and experienced contractor to conduct fourteen 30minute presentations addressing hostage survival in an overseas environment at each of the seminars. The one-day ASOS program is offered fourteen (14) times a year, and presents a variety of presentation formats in order to maximize the efficiency of the program. The presentations will be provided in direct support of the ASOS program. Participants come from many U. S. Government agencies, and their level of experience in the Foreign Service varies, from second-tour officers to veterans with twenty years or more service, and their family members.

Approximately eight hundred participants attend this program yearly. The Hostage Survival Presentation itself has been developed by TC/T.
