Training Ideology

The "Special Operations Community" addresses "Response To A Threat" in a well calculated and comprehensive manner: A 5 paragraph operations order:

  1. Situation (friendly/enemy)
  2. Mission (What, where and when)
  3. Execution (Action at the objective)
  4. Proper Equipment
  5. Command and signal

The training procedure of the best. We build on this concept in defensive civilian manner

Proper Weaponry Training

Should be conducted with the following check points:

  1. Correct facility with high safety standards strictly enforced.
  2. A tremendous amount of dress rehearsed dry fire to build correct procedure before live fire occurs.
  3. Focused training on marksmanship under stress to build a memory channel.
  4. A comprehensive practical exercise.
  5. Correct critique and evaluation before the student returns home to begin conditioning drills.
