SHREWD
“Get off the X”
Master the skills You NEED to evade and survive hostile encounters
At Unusual Soldiers, we understand the sense of calling to regions where danger is expected. However, we place a high value on engaging those places strategically rather than recklessly. Which is why we created a civilian SERE-style training course called SHREWD.
SHREWD teaches you how to avoid surveillance, survive attacks, and overcome captivity. This training is led by hardened missionaries and knowledgable military instructors. Expect multi-media briefings, gritty discussions, and live environment training that will put what you learned to the test. There are no guarantees in life, but at SHREWD you will leave you better equipped to tackle some of life’s toughest hit-the-fan scenarios on the mission field.

SHEEP AMONG WOLVES…
In Matthew 10, Jesus said to his disciples that they would be sent out like sheep among wolves. This was probably not the most thrilling news, because sheep have no way to defend themselves against a wolf. They have no front teeth to bite with, no roar to intimidate with, no speed to outrun with, and no camouflage to hide with. Their big fluffy white wool is like a fast-food logo for a hungry wolf. But then Jesus followed up with this instruction: You must be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Not only did he emphasize the importance of obedience to his disciples, but he also emphasized the need to be crafty, so they didn’t end up becoming the next item on the menu. At Shrewd staying close to the Good Shepherd and outsmarting the wolf is our primary objective.
