Knowledge Transfer

We believe knowledge flows in all directions, between instructors and participants, seasoned veterans and eager newcomers. We believe in the power of personal connection to foster growth.  Every interaction, every drill, every lesson has a purpose, shaping you from the ground up, pushing you to evolve and excel.

Having a team of Cadre who have operated at the pinnacle of special operations gives us the privileged position of acquired knowledge and unparalleled expertise. Passing this on to the military, law enforcement, and responsible civilians adds value to and enhances the safety of our community. Understanding the needs of the end user allows us to accurately target all elements of the tactical space. Sharing these perspectives, from the flat range to gear assessments and TTP reviews for professional units, is, to us, the true meaning of Knowledge Transfer.

Through our Cadre, who are hand-selected for their extensive and diverse exposure to global theaters of warfare, we aim to surgically improve the capabilities of those seeking self-improvement. Building human connection is critical to this process. Fusing methods and tailoring the delivery to fit the individual allows GBRS the flexibility to accommodate all levels of ability and complement those already working at a professional level.

GBRS Group offers various forms of Knowledge Transfer to suit your needs. Immerse yourself in our in-person training experiences, or gain insights and proficiencies through our online subscription based platform for self-paced development.
