        Training Fittings  A “fit” or “fitting” is a training regimen specifying activities that need completion in order for an individual, team or a unit to achieve their training objectives. We use fittings extensively in the O2DA Defense Academy to guide and manage training regimens. The first thing you do as a member of the O2DA Defense Academy is select your fitting.

          Training Plans The O2DA Defense Academy is packed with information. Our training plans allow us to organize this content in a manner that matches the training objectives of our members. We have several training plans - for individuals, teams, units, basic training, advance training, a 5-day startup plan and a 12 month plan. 

            Interactive Training Tool  Our most important resource is our interactive training plan (ITP). With our ITP you can monitor your training progress, create customized training plans and modify or create your own training stages and tasks. Both the 5-Day and 12-Month plans are static, in that the plans are rigid and you cannot change the activities or monitor your performance. The Interactive Training Plan comes pre-leaded and installed with all of the stages and tasks in the 12-Month Plan. The user can then modify these as needed including adding or deleting stages and tasks based upon their personal training objectives. 

          Training Groups  Training Groups is where you go to interact with others in your cadre. You can set-up your own group and invite others to join. There are groups for Units, Teams, ATP's CFI's, students, clients, media etc. Inside "Groups" you may find special offers or opportunities from your ATP or CFI. You can post your won photos, videos, files, etc. for you and your training cadre. 

          Defense Academy Headquarters  Defense Academy HQ is the hub for managing your personal information, connections, interactions, plans and subscriptions. This is your personal HQ that you can configure to suit your specific training objectives. 

      Threat Center  The Threat Center contains several resources hat will help you determine your personal security strategy. These resources are updated 24/7. Check daily to help update your personal awareness of any new threats you may face including potential threats by location, type, target, probability and potential consequences. During periods of increased threat, we create and publish threat matrices based upon unfolding events. 

          Strategy For Defense  The purpose of this manual is to develop the ideas and concepts leading to the creation of a strategy necessary for civilians to defend life and property from violent threat. This manual outlines why the strategy for civilian defense of life and property is self-reliance. The strategy is dependent upon building decentralized networks of simpatico individuals to secure your life, family, business and community. 

          Individual Tactics  The Individual Tactics manual explains the tactics needed to defend yourself and other innocents in the home and the street during a high-stress lethal force confrontation. In this manual you will learn how to maneuver in hallways, clear rooms, cross thresholds, work stairwells, and how to properly use cover and concealment to decisively defeat your adversary. Not only will you learn how to dominate a lethal force confrontation, you will also learn about footwork, your spheres of security, what you can do to mitigate the legal challenges that will inevitably follow the use of lethal force. 

          Team Tactics  Small businesses, schools, and churches have always been at a disadvantage when it came to security. In the past,they were limited to two choices, either hire expensive security guards or depend upon local law enforcement to provide for their safety and security. Hiring security guards is not only expensive but questionable as to training and consistency, while law enforcement will never be there when a threat materializes. There is now an alternative; developing a private security force, and Team Tactics discusses the steps necessary to make this happen. 

          Unit Tactics  This Manual will discuss the short term and long term perturbations that can threaten our security, and how we can anticipate these events and manage the transition from normal to off-normal (or new-normal). We start from the observation that these are not challenges that can be met by individuals acting alone: they require community and cooperation. Because we have little directly applicable experience – there are few certainties and no tried-and-true methods for addressing the challenges of civilizational decline – this manual seeks to educate more than to train. 

          Case Study  This section presents a case study to bring to life the tactics and techniques described in the Strategy For Defense, Team Tactics and Unit Tactics manuals. The case study animates the threats faced by individuals, parents, business owners, church officials and school administrators. You will find the case study referred to in detail in the various manuals. We have extracted specific elements of the case study for presentation here without the detailed tactics and techniques discussion. 

           Interactive Library  This library hosts a collection of gunfighting concepts, processes, techniques, skills, strategies, and tactics which contribute to decisively winning a lethal force encounter. All of which are presented dynamically here via a unique interface that enables you to visualize and organize information in ways never before possible.
