Get to know us

We started organizing our training gatherings in 2014, while stationed in Fort Bragg, NC. Back then, we were just a small group of highly motivated Soldiers running into each other during regular physical training hours, at the gym or participating in several off-duty outdoor events. Years later, we reunited in Fort Cavazos, TX, when finally, this initiative turned out into a regular engagement.

With many of us still in service and the implementation of the ACFT, it soon became obvious the need for an off-base outdoor training area. This urged us to materialize ideas that now lead us to stay tuned into our training philosophy of "training as we fight". We aim above and beyond of not just attaining passing scores on physical and tactical assessments.

We now are mastering our project, setting up and offering several premises as the rally point for those who share this same mindset. We currently have locations in the areas near to Fort Bragg and Fort Cavazos. We are looking forward to extending our liaisons with other veterans and locations, where many more like us could gather, test their readiness and tailor their physical training.

As a nonprofit organization, we raise the required funds to build and set up the training sites. We also offer our virtual network for fellow veterans that hold a Physical Training degree, Master Fitness Trainer Certification or any other tactical training expertise as part of our referral service.

OUR TEAM

There's an old say expressing that our strength lies in our individuality, however, when we invest our talents and knowledge on each other, the final result is a community of stronger individuals; all of this then turns into the best thing we could have in challenging moments: A solid support system sustained by us looking after each other.

Our mission

We are on a mission of providing different ways on which our fellow service members could be able to train better. We work diligently on paving the way of blending their physical readiness goals in our outdoor locations, while also connecting veterans with a solid network of certified experts to assist them. Our main goal is to constantly rise our standards in order to offer the best set ups and experiences.

Our vision

We want to be part of that support system on which our fellow service members could gather and conduct off-post physical training during more convenient hours for them. We also aim to fit their goals at more convenient locations in a way that, instead of driving long distances, they can accommodate their training sessions near to their off-duty, social and family activities, which is paramount for their best quality of life.
