Author: Matt

I am an ex-British COMMANDO who is specialised in long range SNIPING & RECONNAISSANCE; trained to operate in small teams across the globe, be it by day or night. “A role that relies on extremely high levels of physical fitness, weapons proficiency, and tactics in both close combat and long distance environments”. With recent experience in hostile environments across AFRICA and the Middle East (IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN), I am the primary Instructor and Blogger of our course content and structure; Dark Earth Tactical. A cumulative 12-years of full time employment in a tactical role adds great value to our company; ensuring that we provide the most current and modern methods of defensive combat/tactical training and online courses.
