Service Description

Special forces teams are unique in their diversity, with members coming from varied backgrounds. This diversity brings unique perspectives to problem-solving and dealing with emergent situations. Another key aspect is the mentorship provided to new team members who embrace relearning the basics and view training as a continuous path toward mastery. The team's small size, diversity, and autonomy provide them with a capability unique to similar organizations and enhance their ability to plan, train, and prepare for high-risk, complex problem sets. We want to create a similar structure when forming teams (students) for our courses.
