WARNING
PREFACE

The author, publisher, and distributors
do not in any way endorse nor condone any illegal or

information herein.
Editor's note: The
KGB Alpha Team Training Manual
was pro-
vided to Paladin Press by Jim Shortt, who, as director of
International Bodyguard Association (IBA), has trained numerous
Western military and police units in anti-Spetsnaz activities. Shortt
was the first outsider to train KGB personnel, and he has been
active in the Baltic States both before and after independence, train-
ing these republics' police and security forces. Shortt also trained
mujahideen forces during the war in Afghanistan.
Several pages in chapters 5 and 6 ofthis manual are missing. The
same pages were missing in every copy of the manual that Shortt
examined. This leads one to believe that the pages were either delib-
erately pulled because of sensitive information found on them, or the
Soviet military suffered from the same inefficiency as bureacuracies
everywhere and the pages were inadvertently left out of the original
printing. The places with missing text have been footnoted.
In the following, Shortt briefly examines Soviet special opera-
tions to show the relationship of various organizations and to
document how the information contained in the manual was used
by the KGB, GRU, MVD, and other "special assignment units."
He also includes some personal accounts of his training missions
in various Soviet republics to illustrate how many of the functions
formerly performed by the KGB and GRU are now being assumed
by police units in the various republics or local mafia groups.
