WHO ARE WE?

Special Tactics was developed by retired, senior operators from Tier-1 Special Mission Units along with diverse team of experts from the special operations, conventional military, law enforcement and academic communities. Our mission is to help improve mental, physical, and skill-related performance among military personnel, law-enforcement officers, security professionals, and responsible citizens. We view our mission as more than a job or business, but rather as a continuation of our sacred duty to God, our country and peace loving people all around the world. To accomplish this critical mission, we focus on three key concepts that form the foundation of our training philosophy.

KEEP IT SIMPLE: In high-stress situations, complex approaches will frequently break down. We emphasizes careful preparation and disciplined execution of combat-tested tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). This simple but effective approach can enable an individual or team to tackle even the most difficult challenges with confidence.

FOCUS ON THE ESSENTIALS: Time, energy and resources are always limited. It is therefore critical to focus the essential skills that lead directly to optimum performance in a critical situation. Every phase and aspect of training must have a clear application to a realistic, real-world scenario.

MASTER THE BASICS: It is better to master just a few basic techniques than it is to superficially learn a large number of techniques. True mastery does not come from practicing something once, twice or ten times, but rather from internalizing an ability to respond instinctively, faster than the speed of thought. Establishing a solid foundation of competence at this level of mastery is the only way to maximally enhance leadership, teamwork and operational effectiveness.
