Team Leader Garret Machine
IA’s Covert Ops Training is under the command of Garret
Machine, a former soldier in the Israeli Defense Force (
IDF). Garret’s unit, “ Duvdevan”, is the IDF’s equivalent
to the US Army’s Delta Force and specialized in undercover
work, urban warfare, targeted assassinations and kidnapping
of wanted militants throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Following his Israeli military service, Garret worked as
a field bodyguard for the Israeli Ministry of Defense, which
is the equivalent of the US Secret Service. He was part
of a unit that worked exclusively in the West Bank, in high
risk areas. He then joined the ranks of the Israeli National
Police Force, where he served until 2010.
Before moving to Israel, Miami-born Garret grew up in South
Florida, attended high school at the Valley Forge Military
Academy in Pennsylvania and received a degree from the University
of Florida. While still in the military, Garret earned a
Masters Degree in Homeland Security and Counter Terror Warfare
from the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel.
