Bridging the Gap Between Military and Law Enforcement Tactics

In today’s threat landscape, traditional law enforcement training isn’t always enough. Officers are expected to handle everything from routine patrols to active shooter incidents with limited time, resources, or exposure to real-world complexity. That’s where we come in.

At Third Excursion Group, we bring battlefield-proven methods into the hands of law enforcement professionals—without the unnecessary militarization. There’s a difference between discipline and domination, and we walk that line with precision.

The Disconnect: Training vs. Reality

The military trains for war. Law enforcement trains for public safety. But increasingly, the operational demands overlap—active threats, mass casualty incidents, urban operations, hostage situations. Many departments still rely on outdated training protocols, with minimal emphasis on decision-making under pressure, team dynamics, or asymmetric threats.

The result? A dangerous gap between what officers are trained for and what they’re actually facing.

Where Military Experience Adds Value

TXG's cadre of Navy SEALs and tactical law enforcement leaders know firsthand what it means to adapt, improvise, and lead under fire. Our approach takes the best of military small unit tactics—CQB, team movement, communications, tactical medicine—and filters it through a law enforcement lens.

This isn’t about turning cops into commandos. It’s about giving officers the tools, mindset, and reps to handle the worst day of their career with clarity and control.

Custom-Fit, Not Copy-Paste

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all tactics. Our programs are built around local context, department needs, and community expectations. Whether you’re a rural sheriff’s office or a major metro agency, we tailor everything to your mission—training that makes sense, not just looks cool on Instagram.

Our Tactical Readiness Programs include:

• Hybrid CQB for Law Enforcement

• Tactical Decision-Making Under Stress (TDMS)

• Small Team Urban Movement

• High-Risk Warrant Execution

• Real-World Threat Scenario Labs

The Culture Shift

Bridging the gap isn’t just tactical—it’s cultural. We focus on humility, leadership, and accountability. Our instructors aren’t there to impress you; they’re there to make sure you’re ready when the call goes sideways.

We don’t train for fantasy gunfights. We train for real people in real communities facing real risk.

Final Word

This is the future of modern policing: smarter, faster, and better equipped to serve. The old way of doing things isn’t cutting it anymore. Let’s stop pretending it is.
