Our Modules:
Sniper and Marksman Training: covers long-range precision shooting, urban and rural sniper tactics, and modern thermal camouflage techniques.
Tactical Medicine (TACMED) Training: integrated into our programme are CCP Setup and Management, Operations in Confined Spaces, Remote Resupply and Casualty Support, and Next-Generation MEDEVAC.
Deep Reconnaissance (DEEPREC) Training: integrated into our programme are infiltration techniques, long-range observation, target acquisition, SIGINT collection, concealment, stealth exfiltration, and overwatch terrain analysis operations.
The TACMED Advanced Combat First Aid Responder programme (Bravo & Charlie) is a rigorous, practitioner-led training pathway built from over three years of embedded operational experience in Ukraine and more than 20 years of Special Operations (SOF) and MEDEVAC experience across multiple theatres. The syllabus fuses proven battlefield medicine protocols with pragmatic improvisation techniques, preparing medical and non-medical operators to deliver lifesaving care under direct fire, in confined and austere environments, and during prolonged casualty evacuation. The course emphasises speed, decision-making, and casualty stabilisation to increase survival from point of wounding through to definitive care.
Overview
This module trains operators to deliver lifesaving care and rapid casualty extraction in three high-risk environments: trench systems, confined/structurally compromised spaces, and vehicle scenarios. Built on Bravo/Charlie principles, it emphasises speed, security, casualty packaging, and continuity of care under fire.
Trenches (Tranches)
• Apply MARCH/THREAT under fire in narrow, linear battlefields.
• Control haemorrhage in confined alcoves with tourniquets, gauze, junctional devices.
• Low-profile airway management below parapet line.
• Move casualties laterally with buddy drags, sleds, and litters; CCP setup in covered traverses.
Confined Spaces
• Assess hazards (structural, CBRN, ventilation) before entry.
• Conduct compact casualty assessment, bleeding control, and improvised splinting.
• Vertical and angled extractions with harnesses or improvised hauls.
• Operate in low-light/dusty voids with respiratory protection and hypothermia prevention.
Vehicle Extraction
• Secure scene, disable vehicle, establish overwatch.
• Gain rapid access (door breach, window punch, displacement techniques).
• Adapt spinal protocols for tactical pressure — prioritise bleeding/airway when under fire.
• Use short-boards, scoop stretchers, or convert vehicle to CCP when evacuation is delayed.
Medical Priorities Across All Environments
• Immediate haemorrhage control, airway management, permissive hypotension and damage-control resuscitation.
• Casualty documentation, hypothermia prevention, and effective MEDEVAC/CASEVAC handover.
Integrated into our programme are infiltration techniques, long-range observation, target acquisition, SIGINT collection, concealment, stealth exfiltration, and overwatch terrain analysis operations.
DEEPREC trains small specialist teams to operate covertly deep behind enemy lines, emphasising low-signature insertion (HALO/HALO, covert maritime/overland infil), route/sector reconnaissance and sustained clandestine observation. Course modules cover advanced tradecraft for target development, long-dwell overwatch, precision target acquisition, and multi-INT collection (visual, thermal, SIGINT/ELINT, and directed HUMINT), with an emphasis on sensor integration and corroboration to produce actionable, high-confidence intelligence.
Tactically, teams practice stealth movement (noise/light discipline, camo/ghillie techniques), concealed hide-site emplacements, rendezvous planning, and LRRP-style surveillance techniques for daytime and night operations. Students train LPI/LPD communications, mesh/SATCOM limits, secure reporting formats, and real-time battle damage assessment (BDA) feeds to enable kinetic or non-kinetic follow-on effects while minimising signature and risk to force.
Critical exfil and survival skills are core: multiple planned exfil routes, deception and evasion techniques, casualty concealment and recovery, and emergency recovery procedures (SR/PRC handovers). The course integrates mission planning, METT-T based risk management, liaison with ISR/fires assets, and legal/ROE considerations so teams can collect priority intelligence, cue higher-level assets, and return without compromise.
_sea
Specter provides Tactical Maritime Operations & Water Infiltration, Special Water Infiltration (Kayaks), and Special Water Survival and Evacuation Training.
Our Modules:
Tactical Maritime Operations & Water Infiltration: training modules include waterborne infiltration and exfiltration, maritime boarding and interdiction, combat swimming and navigation, and small craft and rigid-hull operations.
Special Water Infiltration Training (Kayaks): the course covers stealth insertion and exfiltration techniques, night navigation and low-signature movement, loadout management and equipment carriage, and operational planning and execution.
Special Water Survival and Evacuation Training: training includes survival at sea and in inland waters, emergency egress from submerged vessels, waterborne casualty evacuation techniques, and improvised flotation, signalling and rescue procedures.

Course summary
A modular course teaching planners and operators to plan, task, operate and defend satellite-enabled ISR and BLOS communications across strategic, operational and tactical echelons. The programme trains two complementary capabilities: CSS (Close Satellite Support) — rapid, proximate satellite links tightly integrated with tactical units and C2 nodes — and DSS (Direct Satellite Support) — guaranteed, high-priority satellite tasking and downlink for operational/strategic mission sets. Training leverages Maxar’s Geospatial Platform (MGP) for archive/streaming imagery and analytics, the Rapid Access Program (RAP) for on-demand tasking, and the Direct Access Program (DAP) for dedicated ground-station tasking and real-time downlink operations. Maxar+2Maxar+2
Foundations & Decision Matrix — Orbit classes, payload types (EO/IR/SAR/SIGINT), and CSS/DSS employment scenarios.
MGP & Analytic Operations — Hands-on MGP demos: AOI setup, time-lapse, change alerts, API ingestion and export workflows. Maxar+1
RAP On-Demand Tasking — Rapid task submission, priority windows, virtual task control, and fast-turn imagery ingestion for time-sensitive targeting. Maxar+1
DAP Real-Time Downlink & Integration — Ground-station workflows, guaranteed tasking, in-theater downlink planning and direct access ops. Maxar+1
Tactical CSS Integration — Small-unit terminal ops, SOTM relays, LZ/C2 comms stacks, and CASEVAC support under contested conditions.
Resilience & EW Contested Ops — Anti-jamming TTPs, link fallback drills, store-and-forward, and mesh/SAT hybridisation.
Exercises — Tabletop mission planning → MGP/RAP tasking inject → live terminal deployment and DAP downlink exercise → sensor-to-shooter execution and BDA.
Practical outcomes & assessment
Graduates will: design CSS/DSS mission plans, task RAP and ingest imagery via MGP, operate expeditionary terminals, and execute DAP downlink/ground-station workflows for near-real-time exploitation. Assessment is practical (terminal ops, RAP tasking, MGP analytic use) plus an integrated live FTX with EW attrition injects. Maxar+1
Audience & tailoring
Ideal for strategic planners (DSS), operational ISR officers, GSOC/GSOC analysts, tactical comms teams and CASEVAC/fires coordinators (CSS). Course length is modular: 2–3 days tactical CSS; 5–9 days full CSS+DSS with live DAP/RAP exercises and MGP integration. Maxar+1
Logistics & prerequisites
Requires access to representative SATCOM terminals (manpack/SOTM/VSAT), a Maxar MGP lab account for exercises, and RAP/DAP tasking sandbox (or simulated injects if live tasking is restricted). Security, OPSEC and legal constraints govern live tasking exercises; simulated workflows are available where needed.
