Global CST is an Israeli company engaged in training armed forces, police, and border security around the world.[1] The company likes to refer to itself as an "Israeli defence consultancy", but it has been less charitably been called a “company for mercenaries”[2] Although Global CST is purportedly not directly engaged in arms sales, it has close contacts with Israeli arms dealers and arms companies, e.g., Elbit Systems[3], Israel Aerospace Industries.
