Observe.
Orient.
Decide.
Act.
To Protect. To Prevail. With Relentless Will.
TRAINING FOR THE RELENTLESS
We are veteran owned and mission driven to combine real-world operational readiness, with proven firearms techniques and tactical training methods. Our objective is to empower vetted citizens, law enforcement professionals, and military personnel with the skills, mindset, and confidence to protect themselves, their families, their teammates, and their communities effectively.
Air Force Col. John Boyd created the OODA Loop concept; Observe, Orient, Decide, Act - as a decision-making cycle designed for performance under stress. At OODA DEVelopment Solutions (OODA DEV), our mission is not only to teach individuals this principle, but also develop a warrior-ready mindset—to stop thinking ‘what if’ and start thinking ‘what when.’
"We train individuals to identify viable options quickly, commit to action, and win under pressure. Survival is a win. Protecting your loved ones and others is a win. Neutralizing the threat—that’s a win.”
— Joe “Dev” De Veaux, Founder / Chief Instructor
Train to win the WHEN.
