Train as You Fight
Team
Seasoned instructors with established hands-on field experience: a synergy of military instruction and practical research fused into one common background. Our collective expertise brings together active cyber operations and their security, physical operational security, and operating in contested environments under modern warfare conditions.
Holding a firm belief that the best learning is made while being uncomfortable, the instructors do not shy away from cornering their trainees in unexpected scenarios and twists of events to keep their awareness high and their training sharp.
A trainee can feel being chewed out in the classroom but will live to tell about it; the field offers no such mercy.
Fused Operational & Research Core
A singular synergy of military doctrine, fieldcraft, physical security, cyber operations, and cognitive research
-
Military // Tactical doctrine, near-peer modern warfare environments, and threat avoidance
-
Field // Contested deployments, field resilience, and unscripted stress inoculation
-
Physical // Physical OpSec, movement control, asset safeguarding, and countersurveillance
-
Cyber // Active cyber operations, tactical SIGINT mitigation, and zero-trust mobile hygiene
-
Research // Practical research methodologies, adversary profiling, and cognitive defense
Vision
Security of field operations (OpSec) is a fusion of cognitive, cyber, and physical domains.
Cognitive Domain
Situational awareness under psychological strain, deception detection, adversarial profiling, and maintaining cognitive control when operating in hostile or manipulated information environments.
Cyber Domain
Hardened communications, mitigation of electronic warfare and SIGINT interception, operational identity compartmentalization, and device containment in zero-trust environments.
Physical Domain
Movement concealment, countersurveillance in contested urban and rural zones, environmental threat assessment, route unpredictability, and tactical extraction protocols.
Trainings
We offer bespoke training tailored to your and your team's exact needs to fit your operational and mission-critical goals when performing daily tasks, being deployed in escalated risk areas or in contested environments. We conduct our training for members of the European Union, the NATO alliance, and their partner nations. You are our audience regardless of your experience and operations. Our audience covers experts working in research, media and independent journalism, military, CERT/CSIRT, decision-making and politics, private entities, and anyone mindful of increasing their operational security.
