Specialised Tasks, Training, Equipment and Protection International (STTEP) is a private military company (STTEP International) which was formed in 2006 by three South African Defence Force veterans who founded the help fill the vacuum left by the departure of PMC Executive Outcomes in 1998.[1]

Ex-SADF Lt-Col Eeben Barlow, Chairman of private military company STTEP International

In May 2015, Chairman Eeben Barlow described how STTEP – cooperating with a South African security firm, Pilgrims Africa Ltd, based in Lagos – had assisted the Nigerian government in its fight against the Boko Haram insurgents:[2]

“The campaign gathered good momentum and wrested much of the initiative from the enemy,” said Colonel Barlow, 62. “It was not uncommon for the strike force to be met by thousands of cheering locals once the enemy had been driven from an area.”[3]
