1 Real Training for Real Capabilities in the Real World..! Serving America s Heroes for Over 16 Years Battle-Tested Combat Proven! MURUMARIES ATTIGIT The product we sell to the American Warfighter can be the difference between life & death during the most dangerous missions and the worst enemy ambushes in combat Ask yourself this question Why would thousands of America s best fighters come year after year to a small private company for critical pre-mission training? 1

2 Here s why Because when their lives are on the line they will always choose the best company that will help them win the fight and come home safely to their families! For over 15 years, that choice has been Gryphon Group. Gryphon s only mission: Every To help company to save talks the lives about of our its nation s heroes Vision and & Mission to help them defeat our nation's enemies --both foreign & domestic. As a company of patriots, we have only one rule: Say what you mean, mean what you say, and work hard for our nation s guardians of freedom, regardless of who is or isn't watching! THE PROBLEM: U.S. Military Forces out-classed the enemy in every category on the battlefields of Iraq & Afghanistan, yet American Warfighters at war in Iraq & Afghanistan. an inferior enemy killed or maimed over 57,000 of America s best fighting men & women in 10 years...why? 2

3 THE SOLUTION: Focus on the human factors of combat performance when preparing American Warfighters to be more effective & survivable in combat We do this by replicating actual combat scenarios and focus on decision-making under-fire & combat stress management. The Human Mind, Human Nature & the Human Body are always the same during every war British Commandos during World War II in pre-mission training for D-Day. Gryphon focuses on these Human Factors when preparing American Warfighters to be more survivable in combat for ANY unit.. during ANY mission on ANY battlefield ANY place in the world. 3

4 The Right Programs in the Right Place with the Right Team makes Gryphon the Right Choice During the last 16 years, Gryphon Group has trained over 32,000 American Warfighters & Special Operations Personnel from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as well as 12 Federal Agencies. American Warriors under-fire during World War II. These eternal Universal Truths of the Battlefield are at the core of every one of Gryphon s training programs. British Commandos during World War II in pre-mission training for D-Day. These truths do not change from war to war, battle to battle, firefight to firefight. American Warfighters at war in Afghanistan. The Human Mind, Human Nature & the Human Body are always the same during every war 4

5 Gryphon focuses on these Human Factors when preparing American Warfighters to be more survivable in combat for ANY unit.. during ANY mission on ANY battlefield ANY place in the world. The Human Mind is the Warfighter s primary weapon system The Human Body can & will fail. But. The Human Mind can overcome any obstacle!
