Syria, Lebanon and Iraq
Syria, Lebanon and Iraq are among the most demanding operating environments in the region, and all three reward preparation over improvisation.
Sentinel Solutions works nationally in all three countries, with standing capacity in Damascus and Beirut and embedded advisors and licensed partners across Iraq.
Two tasks, one handover
Cross-border movement is planned as two tasks, with a handover at the crossing.
A Lebanon team moves you from Beirut to the border. A Syria team is already waiting on the other side. Each team knows its own roads, checkpoints and authorities, and you are never without cover between them.
Our services in Syria and Lebanon
Delivered by teams who live and work there, under one Sentinel plan.
Close protection
Close protection for principals and small groups, from airport arrival to departure, sized to the profile of the visit.
Deployed medical support
Medical support sized to the task, from a medic within the protection team to dedicated cover for a delegation or site.
Accommodation
Access-controlled accommodation surveyed before occupation, with arrival procedures and contingency locations agreed in advance.
Posture
Armed and unarmed postures are confirmed per task, in line with the threat, the client's requirements and local law.
Iraq
National coverage through embedded Sentinel advisors and licensed Iraqi partners, from Baghdad to Erbil and Basra.
Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region
Movement between Baghdad and Erbil, Sulaymaniyah or Duhok is planned as separate tasks, with the permissions, documents and receiving team confirmed before departure.
Airport arrivals
Meet-and-assist and protected transfers at Baghdad, Erbil and Basra airports, with the vehicle, route and accommodation surveyed in advance.
Project and site security
Security management for energy, reconstruction and infrastructure projects, from site surveys and guard force supervision to daily reporting.
Iraq and Syria together
Programmes that cross between Iraq and Syria are planned like every crossing we run: two tasks, a handover at the border, and one Sentinel lead responsible for both.
- Close protection for principals, delegations and small groups
- Secure journey management, with armoured vehicles where the threat requires them
- Deployed medical support and receiving hospitals mapped for every location
- Access-controlled accommodation surveyed before occupation
- Armed protection only through partners licensed to provide it in Iraq

Routes are surveyed, receiving facilities mapped and permissions arranged before you travel.
Routes surveyed
Primary and alternate routes driven and timed by our team, with safe havens identified along each.
Facilities mapped
Hospitals and clinics that can receive a casualty identified and confirmed for every location on the itinerary.

Movement permissions, access and documentation in place so nothing is left to negotiation at a checkpoint.
Briefed and received
A full briefing before departure, and a team waiting at every arrival point, including the crossing.
