IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

WHO IS IT FOR?

Team Leads & Middle Managers

You lead from the middle — caught between strategy and execution. When things get messy, you need tools that work. We give you those tools, tested under pressure.

HR & PeopleOps Professionals

You build systems, shape culture, and support others — often behind the scenes. We give you frameworks that strengthen accountability and drive real behavior change across teams.

Founders & Executives

You set the standard. You carry the weight. We give you space to sharpen your edge and align your people — especially when the pressure is high and failure isn’t an option.

Mission-Driven Teams in Transition

Scaling. Rebuilding. Navigating conflict. Whatever your challenge, you need shared language, clear priorities, and a culture of ownership. We help you build it.

COMBAT READY X ECHELON FRONT

We are proud partners of Echelon Front, founded by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Their battle-proven principles — like Extreme Ownership, Cover and Move, and Decentralized Command — are deeply embedded in everything we do.

This partnership gives us access to a global community, field-tested tools, and a clear mission: to build leaders who take responsibility — and WIN.

what is combat ready?

Combat Ready is an Estonian-born leadership development company founded by two former Special Operations Forces (SOF) operators. We offer leadership training all-over Europe.

We train individuals and teams through live, high-pressure scenarios that test leadership where it counts: under stress, in uncertainty, and within a team.

We don’t do theoretical training.

Our work is built on three principles:

DISCIPLINE
CLARITY
ACTION

We teach what we live. No BS. No theory. Just leadership that holds under fire.

why we exist?

Because freedom is not guaranteed — it must be earned, protected and nurtured. And leadership is the key to preserving it.

Combat Ready equips individuals and teams with the mindset, tools and structure to:

– TAKE OWNERSHIP

– LEAD THROUGH ADVERSITY

– BUILD ALLIGNMENT

– PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST

– TAKE OWNERSHIP

– LEAD THROUGH ADVERSITY

– BUILD ALLIGNMENT

– PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST

Leadership doesn’t begin with a title. It begins with a decision.

LEADERSHIP STARTS WITH YOU.

Shaped by military experience, guided by Extreme Ownership. Remo is one of our most valued instructors in the company. This man practically never sleeps and finds the time for her 2 daughters as well. Yes-man!

Guided by the mindset “an idle man doesn’t live long”, Martin helps others lead with courage, clarity and calm under pressure. Martin’s leadership style was forged in real-world operations and refined through experience. He’s proof that structure and empathy can – and should – exist side by side in every high-performing team.
