Ethics, Policies, and Certifications

Aligned in Action. Accountable in Practice.

We’re Not Here to Prescribe. We’re Here to Provoke Clarity.

At Tactical Human Institute, we don’t hand down formulas—we forge readiness through dialogue. Rooted in Socratic inquiry, not slogans, we train the few who walk toward complexity, not away from it.

We bring a combat-capable mindset tempered by compassion, helping you move with precision in volatile terrain—without losing your humanity.

We read power as fluently as physiology. That’s why we coach with discernment, not domination—because the mission demands action, but the method must respect the human.

Mission-first. Human-always.
That’s not a tagline. It’s our operating system.

Our Ethical Framework

THI operates on a foundation of relational ethics, operational clarity, and mission fidelity. We are grounded in:

  • Coaching Psychology Standards
    Evidence-based behavior change models and motivational interviewing

  • Military Doctrine Integration
    FM 7-22, H2F, Total Force Fitness (TFF), and CJCSI 3405.01

  • Sociological Awareness
    Deep engagement with the dynamics of power, identity, and human terrain navigation

  • Foucauldian Insight
    A vigilant stance against coercion, surveillance culture, and dehumanizing methods

  • Quiet Professionalism
    No hype. No mimicry. No overreach.

We seek to earn and maintain trust not through charisma—but through clarity, consistency, and consequence-aware service.

Informed Service Philosophy
