Benefits of Special Tactics Training

LEADER DEVELOPMENT: Special Tactics training builds confidence, moral courage and other key leadership traits among all students, regardless of age, or position.  The most effective organizations start building future leaders early and recognize that in an emergency situation, anyone might have to assume a leadership role.

FASTER PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT: Special Tactics’ innovative, hands-on training methods, developed by Tier-1 special operations veterans and grounded in cutting-edge scientific research, build critical skills and professional knowledge much more quickly than traditional classroom or lecture-based learning models.

INCREASED ADAPTABILITY: Unlike many training programs that focus on rigid processes, rote memorization, and predictable “canned” scenarios, Special Tactics training emphasizes adapting to the unexpected and making bold, timely and creative decisions in a rapidly-changing, highly-uncertain environment.  

IMPROVED JUDGEMENT, RISK MITIGATION AND SAFETY: Training incorporates detailed risk assessment, risk mitigation and safety measures into every aspect of training. This emphasizes the importance of responsibility and sound judgement at all levels while still empowering leaders to take calculated risks when necessary.

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS SUSTAINMENT: Skills are perishable and over time, students forget what they learned in a course if there are not effective sustainment tools available. Special tactics provides all students with an integrated suite of multimedia sustainment products including reference manuals and online courses.

A “LEAD FROM THE FRONT” MINDSET: When leaders demonstrate proficiency in hard skills and lead by example, this builds great trust and respect among subordinates. Special Tactics training emphasizes this bold and engaged leadership style, generating a positive command climate and increasing unit effectiveness.
