Our expertise has quietly enhanced the effectiveness of small professional teams operating in complex urban and rural terrains, ensuring their success in executing covert manoeuvres. HISTORY: UNDERSTAND OUR JOURNEY WHILE SUPPORTING YOU2011: CROPS was established to bridge the gap identified in the lack of capable covert rural surveillance training and support outside of the military.2024: After the successful rebrand, we felt it was safe to lose the historic ‘C’ from the logo, giving ISTF its own identity to push into the future.2020: With the growth of our international footprint, it seemed appropriate to rebrand as the International Special Training Facility for Covert Operations.
