The principle of “the more you know, the less equipment you need” highlights the importance of mastering basic skills and mindset over dependence on gear in high-stress or resource-limited situations or environments. It emphasizes that in critical moments, you can’t always rely on having access to desired equipment. Instead, your training, experience, and character become your greatest asset.
As a training company, CTOMS™ holds to the philosophy that it is necessary to first train to rely on your own abilities rather than becoming dependant on equipment. Once owned, through training and experience, knowledge and skills are always with you. This approach then leads to knowledgeable equipment choices that extend capabilities, rather than creating compensation.
CTOMS™ Mission Essential Training (MET™) provides tactical and emergency medicine education and training experiences to law enforcement, military, and emergency services, and is now booking 2025 training events.
