The S.C.A.R.S. Institute of Combat Sciences (SCARS®) is a professional organization specializing in national and international security contracts for military, law enforcement, and the corporate sector. We are renowned for developing the 600-hour Hand-to-Weapon Subject Matter Expert Train the Trainer (COI) program, known as Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary Systems (SCARS), which saved the US Government millions in training costs. This proprietary system is used by US combat soldiers today.
With 30 years of DoD contracting experience and international contract negotiation at the executive level, we offer comprehensive skill sets for Governmental DoD, Embassy, and Presidential Negotiation. Our core purpose is to procure, service, and produce training for military and law enforcement in Land, Sea, and Air arenas.
We seek security contracts and develop and implement force multiplier programs within the government sectors of Military, Law Enforcement, Aviation, and the Transportation Industry, as well as the private sector. Our expertise lies in developing rapid deployment programs for immediate results and long-term effectiveness for large groups, including the US Special Forces.
SCARS Institute brings to market a training cadre made up of the finest “tier one” special operations personnel. Our training cadre offers current expertise in the most demanding aspects of tactical training including, but not limited to:
The above list is only a few of the subjects covered. The SCARS Institute is willing and capable to develop any program to solve any special needs in the ever-changing security world.
President, Blake Peterson leverages our international political alliances and the extensive combat background of founder Jerry Peterson. We address the increasing need for upgraded response capabilities in military, law enforcement, and private sector tactical units. Our team includes senior experts from elite units such as the US Army's DELTA, US Navy DevGroup, CIA, FBI Hostage Rescue Team, and the United Kingdom's SAS. This expertise provides our clients with cutting-edge training and technology to counter sophisticated security threats.
We utilize proprietary knowledge of threat recognition and elimination to develop and implement customized security tactics, processes, and training programs for government and private clients worldwide. Our scientific knowledge and tactics are licensed to the US Military Special Forces and actively utilized by today’s warfighters. All of our programs comply with UN, NATO, and US Use Of Force Guidelines.
We have operated on over three continents, involving multi-cultural conflicts in countries such as Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Angola, Israel, Bosnia, Turkey, Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Our services include training, analyzing, and developing custom programs for Elite Military Forces, Law Enforcement Agencies, Corporate Security for Fortune Global 500 Companies, and Security Programs for International VIPs.
We develop specific, practical, and scientifically sound solutions to real-world threats based on decades of actual experience and ongoing research and analysis.
Our combined knowledge and experience equate to over 60 years as active Contractors, Consultants, and Instructors for various sectors, including US Law Enforcement and US Special Operations Forces. We continuously develop new parameters and strategic security solutions as international and domestic threats evolve.
Combining real-world knowledge with 40 years of proprietary research on human control under high-stress conditions, we focus on solving seemingly unsolvable situations by eliminating fear. This helps our clients succeed in overwhelming challenges, from everyday life to overrun combat environments.
We create a system of principles that can be quickly learned and applied to eliminate problems. By removing non-scientific movements, actions, and processes, we ensure our field operations avoid fatal errors.
Our first task began 36 years ago, developing mission-specific solutions for the US NAVY SEALs and other US Special Forces. This effort made history as the first standardized lethal hand-to-weapon training programs for the US NAVY (click here for official history). Other systems have been utilized by SEALs, but none teach the science of total fear elimination and lethality without weapons in even 30-to-1 odds.
We use science to formulate algorithms, which we then apply to what was once considered an unpredictable outcome, exposing a single constant that controls and eliminates the unpredictable outcome. All human actions have constants regardless of environment, size, gender, age, strength, weapons, and numbers. Once taught to foresee these constants, one can easily eliminate them along with the threat.
With over 30 years in US, NATO, and UN contractual development and fulfillment, we are a valuable asset in today’s complex contract landscape. We specialize in creating high-level security programs from the ground up using proprietary research, resulting in superior security products with the highest survivability and sustainability of human resources. Our force multiplier programs are scalable from Division level to specialized Strike Team development.
We utilize advanced proprietary science and the latest tactics from today’s multi-cultural warfighter's experience in foreign conflicts. This results in dynamic real-world security protocols that are continually tested and upscaled.
Our policy is to incorporate these dynamics into all programs, allowing constant upscaling of ground forces to adhere to compliance guidelines in an ever-changing security environment. Once established, these proprietary protocols enable the Host Country to become self-evolving, creating an independent security model.
