FORGED IN FIRE

The U.S. military’s Special Operations selection processes are designed to expose weakness and identify the rare individuals who can perform and thrive under extreme pressure. Candidates are pushed beyond exhaustion, deprived of food and sleep, and forced to make critical decisions while depleted. Instructors look for more than strength or speed; they evaluate teamwork, adaptability, resilience, humility, and the ability to lead when everything changes without warning.​  

Those that are selected to these elite teams have demonstrated a kind of ugly grit...the kind of grit that is necessary to overcome a next level of adversity, the mental agility to solve problems in chaos, and the integrity to put the mission and their team above themselves. And selection is only the beginning. They go on to spend years leading elite teams in the most demanding environments on earth, executing complex missions, and delivering results where excuses are not tolerated. 

At Dagger75, we place these battle-tested leaders into civilian roles where grit, accountability, and high-level execution aren’t optional.​ If you’re ready to close your leadership gap with proven performers, let’s start the conversation today.​​
