Combat Ready is a thinking partner for leaders. Bring in a real situation — a hard call, a debrief, a draft you're stuck on — and work it through against the doctrine.

§ 01
THE THREE PATHS

Pick your
angle of attack.

03 PATHS
01 / CONCEPT-DRIVEN
SELECT →

Ask questions

Learn about the theory and how to apply the principles in practice.

Pressure-test a concept against your own work. The trainer pushes back, draws contrasts, and grounds it in the situations you actually face.

EXAMPLE PROMPTS
“what 'cover and move' means for a remote team”
“extreme ownership vs. accountability”
“the difference between briefing and ordering”
02 / ACTIVE WORK
SELECT →

Work through a situation

Bring something you’re navigating, dealing with, or processing.

A real situation in front of you. Sort signal from noise — what’s structural, what’s other people’s, what’s yours — and decide what to do next.

EXAMPLE PROMPTS
“the loop I keep running with my co-founder”
“the conversation I keep avoiding”
“the all-hands that went sideways”
03 / NO STRUCTURE
SELECT →

Open Chat

Just need to think out loud, or work without structure.

No intake, no path. Open the channel and start typing. The trainer follows your lead and pushes back where it matters — same brain, less scaffolding.

EXAMPLE PROMPTS
“a half-formed idea I want to talk through”
“venting before I respond”
“thinking out loud after a long day”
§ 02
A SESSION, IN FULL

What it actually
looks like.

DEBRIEF · LIVE
SESSION #4471● REC 12:04
PATH · DEBRIEF
▸ YOUDEBRIEF
I lost my temper in the leadership offsite. I called out our CFO in front of the team for missing a deadline. The room went cold.
◂ TRAINER
Let's separate the action from the story you're telling about it. What did you actually say — word for word, best you can recall?
▸ YOU
Something like, 'we agreed on Monday and it's Wednesday — what am I missing here?' Then I let the silence sit.
◂ TRAINER
That's a question, not an attack. The room going cold is data, not a verdict. What were you trying to make happen with that question?
▸ YOU
Honestly? I wanted everyone else to see I wasn't the one being unreasonable.
◂ TRAINER◆ INSIGHT
There it is. Hold that. The question was clean — the motive wasn't. That's the thing worth taking back into the next 1:1, not an apology for losing your temper.
►  TRAINER IS THINKING…
TRAINER METHOD
01Asks before it answers.
02Names the pattern, not the person.
03Calls bullshit on the story you're telling yourself.
04Closes with one move for the next 24h.
NEXT MOVE · 24H
Walk into the next 1:1 and tell the CFO: “I asked a clean question with a dirty motive. The question stands. The motive doesn’t.”
— SESSION ENDS WITH ONE THING.
— NO SCORES, NO STREAKS.
— YOU KEEP THE TRANSCRIPT.
§ 03
OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Combat Ready
doctrine.

IV LAWS
I
LAW I

Cover & move

The trainer doesn't replace your team or your judgment. It moves with you — covering the angles you can't see while you stay in the work.

II
LAW II

Simple

One question at a time. No dashboards, no streaks, no gamified nonsense. The discipline is the product.

III
LAW III

Prioritize & execute

Every session ends with one thing — the smallest move that does the most work in the next 24 hours.

IV
LAW IV

Decentralized command

You drive. The trainer asks, reflects, and calls bullshit. It will not make the decision for you.

— FROM THE FIELD MANUAL
“The mission of the trainer is not to make you feel better. It’s to make you sharper, faster, and harder to surprise.”
