Qatar’s VIP female protection team trains with US military
Members of Qatar’s female VIP Protection Unit have recently completed courses in martial arts, medical training and shooting basics with a group of women serving in the US Armed Forces.
The training was done during a two-week skill exchange between nine female US marines and 25 women from Qatar’s Internal Security Force, who serve on a team that guards prominent local females.
