“Attack your enemy when he is not prepared, appear when you are not expected.” Sun Tzu

Tracking is the art of following a person or animal using the signs they leave behind as they move. A tracker follows a trail using the signs left by poachers to build a mental picture of the traffickers based on several key questions: How many people are there? Where are they? How are they equipped? Are they healthy? What is their state of mind? Are they aware that they are being followed? To answer these questions, the tracker uses indicators, which are signs that an action has taken place at a specific time and place. By comparing these indicators, the tracker can obtain answers to his questions. If we consider the signs left by poachers in the context of intelligence, then physical evidence becomes an intelligence indicator. Indicators observed by a tracker trained through the "Combat Tracker" training can provide immediate information on poachers, such as the number of people being tracked, their direction of travel, their rate of movement, the infiltration and exfiltration routes and methods used, the safe areas where they hide, their state of training and discipline, their capabilities and intentions, as well as their psychological and physical state.
