Global Security Solutions
Global Security Solutions has trained law enforcement, military, and security professionals for decades—and we’re proud to bring that same professional-grade instruction to responsible civilians. Our programs are built to elevate everyday firearm owners and working security officers through structured training, clear standards, and a safety-first culture that’s welcoming for beginners and challenging for experienced students.
Whether you’re training as an individual, with friends, or as part of a corporate or church safety team, we tailor instruction to your goals and experience level. Expect detailed coaching, practical drills, and real-world decision-making—so you leave with skill you can apply, not just information you heard.
For those ready to push beyond the basics, our force-on-force simunition “Shoot House” delivers a realistic, instructor-controlled environment where you can test judgment, communication, movement, and problem-solving under pressure—safely.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between civilian training and professional readiness while emphasizing restraint, responsibility, and the preservation of life. Train with purpose—so you’re prepared to protect what matters most.

He was assigned to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations Narcotics Group for 11 years as a Task Force Officer prior to retirement, targeting organized crime networks and leading high-risk operations and international intelligence-gathering missions in South and Central America to disrupt cartel activities.

Montague served as an Operations Officer with LEDET TACLET South, the U.S. Coast Guard's elite Special Operations Division, from 1994 to 1998. He deployed across South and Central America combating narcotics trafficking, human smuggling, and terrorism. He coordinated joint operations with U.S. and foreign military and law enforcement agencies, led training missions on counter-threat techniques, oversaw dignitary security details, and managed surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations in high-stakes international settings.

Building and Scaling a National Security Firm

GSG provided security operations, firearms training, and consulting for Fortune 500 companies and government entities before being acquired by a major national security firm in 2023.
Montague also owns Blue Star Security & Training, a licensed security and training company in Florida.
