Training Modernization
Advancing Fleet Readiness through the Navy Career Training Continuum (CTC)

Introduction
Our Approach to CTC Support

Requirements Development
Modernization is more than just updating slides; it is a holistic overhaul of how training is analyzed, designed, and delivered. Rigid Tactical supports the full lifecycle of the Navy’s training modernization efforts by combining subject matter expertise with advanced instructional strategies. We bridge the gap between legacy requirements and future capabilities, ensuring that desired training outcomes are met with precision.
Core Capabilities

Our Training Modernization portfolio covers the complete spectrum of government training support:
- Training Requirements Analysis (TRA) & Documentation: We conduct rigorous analysis and review to validate training standards, ensuring they align with current operational demands and doctrine.
- Curriculum Development & Instructional Design: Our team creates dynamic, scientifically-backed curriculum tailored to the specific learning needs of the modern warfighter.
- Course Design, Delivery, & Instructional Services: From classroom instruction to practical exercises, we provide the specialized staff and delivery methods necessary to execute high-impact training.
- Equipment & Facility Modernization: Through a robust partnership network, we go beyond instruction to modernize the physical and digital environments where training occurs. We identify and integrate the right technologies and facility upgrades to support high-fidelity simulation and hands-on learning.
The Rigid Tactical Advantage
Our value lies in our in-depth knowledge of the Navy’s desired training outcomes. We do not simply fulfill requirements; we anticipate the needs of the fleet. By integrating veteran experience with modern educational technology, Rigid Tactical ensures that the Career Training Continuum delivers on its promise: the right training, at the right time, in the right format.

Notably, he spearheaded the Navy EOD Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) process—managing Requirements Development and Fielding and Feasibility Analysis—in less than a year.
Currently, RT leads the Navy CTC support contract Center for EOD and Diving , in support of NETC , and NECC for the EOD and Navy Diver (ND) rates . We provide specialized staff and contract solutions to ensure Navy CTC process compliance, successfully achieving the goals and requirements established by the rating community, training leadership, and TYCOM.
