The weapon matrix is a concept that refers to an operational integrity between the weapon on one side and the fighter on the other side.
This target has always been a real challenge facing military leaders all over the world since it is commonly known that “the weakest link in the fighter and weapon matrix is the fighter himself”. The effects of these challenges have increased dramatically in the past few years due to the super-fast development of weapon systems and explosives used in live operations. This has encouraged specialised military institutes to conduct in-depth researches on the impact of the stress from live operations on the fighter’s physical ability as well as on his psychological and emotional stability. Based on these researches, a new concept has emerged in the military and law enforcement arenas to narrow the gap between “Know and Do” (what fighters learn and how they can apply these skills on the battlefield under the extreme physical and psychological stress involved in live operations).
Accordingly, and after years of research and development with our partners and through conducting many Reality-Based Training courses, Elite Tactical is confident that it has all the expertise and tools needed to build a qualified fighter who has the optimum military-readiness at both physical and psychological levels.

The studies and researches that have been conducted since the First World War and continued throughout all the conflicts and wars which peaked during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, have shed the light on an alarming live battlefield reports which indicated that more than 700 marines have been subject to mental severe nervous breakdown despite the advanced training they have previously received. The results of the study and notes taken on the ground stated that this phenomenon could have been avoided if the soldiers who experienced nervous breakdown have been trained according to Reality Based Training techniques, methods, and tools in a safe and efficient manner as indicated by Clauzwitz in his book “On War” stating the following fact: “It is immensely important that no soldier, whatever his rank, should wait for war to expose him to those aspects of active service that amaze and confuse him when he first comes across them. If he has met them even once before, they will begin to be familiar to him, the thing that can be achieved through field training simulating operational reality”.
Ever since Elite Tactical establishment in 2010, the company has been fully aware of the importance of the Reality Based Training.

Even though Elite Tactical is proud to be the ONLY company that is specialized in providing all-around training solutions and comprehensive solutions in terms of training products and services that have been developed to enhance the fighters’ battlefield readiness, The Reality Based Training is the main source of Elite’s driving force. The Reality Based Training is considered to be the tip of the pyramid of the general Force on Force Method of Military and Law Enforcement Training as it places the fighters in realistic training scenarios that induce the same stress levels which they might face in live operations. On the other hand, it’s worth mentioning that the firearms and the IEDs have taken more human lives than any other weapon. Add to this the number of lives destroyed by permanent injuries and the numbers become staggering.
Over the years, the traditional RBT systems failed to develop the necessary skills and abilities the soldier and officer require to handle real firearms and IEDs encounters.
Following a thorough understanding of the clients’ need and the shortcomings of the traditional RBT systems, Elite Tactical established long term partnerships and exclusive agreements with the world most creative RBT service providers who managed to close the market gap through unparalleled solutions which gave rise to a new era in reality based training. These strategic partnerships were augmented by the extensive experience and knowledge of Elite Tactical management in the RBT domain which is uniquely positioned Elite Tactical as the SOLE RBT products and services provider geared to offer unmatched consultancy and training services to its clients in the MENA region.
