INTRODUCTION TO CMD'S COMBAT INTELLIGENT SOLDIER PROGRAM
CMD's UNARMED COMBATIVES SOLDIER
Although an operator may not find himself fighting opponents empty hand regularly in a combat environment, (as critics point out) operators are required however to put ‘hands on’ in every mission. It’s during these times, transporting detainees from a target to a vehicle, controlling non-combatants, or putting flex cuffs on, etc that situations can go south and force escalation is required. Those who have been trained in response and functional skills as taught in the CMD-CIS Program can defend themselves as required and therefore do not always have to resort to direct escalation of lethal force especially when not warranted. They can however control the situation if needed based on CMD-CIS’s reinforcement of positional and structural superiority FIRST. If you can dominate positionally you can then both deliver strikes (to subdue) or access weapons (ASP, Blackjack, knife, Glock) as needed.
CMD-CIS training not only allows for a operator to develop those attributes that can be validated under the pressure testing of a live performance environment in training, but CMD’s structure is ideal to translate to other functional battlefield skills such as running a long gun (For example an M4) or transition to a modified isosceles pistol posture which is almost identical to the CMD ‘hunchback’ position.
CMD's COMBAT INTELLIGENT SOLDIER PERFORMANCE TRAINING
TESTIMONY
"Rodney’s mental training approach allowed every team member to reach their physical and mental potential! It also allowed everyone to keep a consistent performance level. Its effectiveness helped in particular situations where stress and frustration are a daily occurrence. Rodney has created whole mental game approach which turbo charged our self-confidence and focus under pressure. Two critical elements for the battlefield, as a team leader that I have personally enjoyed was "dealing with mental game problems” and been able to analyze them and implement a ‘purposeful thinking’ methodology. This simply opened another world for my guys and myself. The seminar was an awesome opportunity to gain new knowledge and apply it in live action. Simply, outstanding seminar. We are looking forward to seeing Rodney next year in 2008 for a follow up!!"

"I would like to thank Rodney for an awesome experience! What a seminar!!! Mental game is simply a very neglected area and I am very glad we had unique opportunity to start to work with such a professional mental game coach like Rodney. We got to learn a core mental game plan and several guidelines, which exceeded all our expectations!!! Learning to deal with highly stressful situations, fear, low self-confidence after mistakes are simply part of our everyday. However how to overcome them.... well - that’s another story all together. But now, thanks to Rodney, we have a logical step-by-step blueprint we can sue to overcome these mental obstacles! A new level of training has just begun for us. Huge thanks to Rodney for his professional approach - he is true leader who raised our performance levels to new heights!"
