I'll reiterate again- the experience of training in the Redoubt was nothing short of incredible. The opportunity to work with the good folks from that part of the nation was a blessing and one that I intend on making happen again.

Montana RTO Course: Two Student Reviews
Every class is a humbling experience. The opportunity to meet and arm good people with the knowledge and resources to make themselves and their groups better is one that I do not take lightly.

Developing and Exploiting Open Source Signals Intelligence
The whole point of intelligence is exploitation- what we collect and refine must be actionable. If not, it does us no good. You can run around with your rifle and kit all day and accomplish exactly zero without a larger coordination and dedicated effort towards recognizing how to exploit weakness in one's foe. That is, …

Courtesy of a reader and RTO Course alum, one signals intelligence software resource called SORCERER.
