Aligned in Action. Accountable in Practice.

Our Ethical Framework

Tactical Human Institute operates on a foundation of relational ethics, operational clarity, and mission fidelity. Our work is guided by:

  • Coaching Psychology Standards – Rooted in evidence-based behavior change models and motivational interviewing

  • Military Doctrine – Informed by FM 7-22, H2F, and Total Force Fitness (TFF) principles

  • Sociological Awareness – Grounded in the dynamics of power, identity, and human terrain navigation

  • Foucauldian Insight – Vigilant of coercion, surveillance culture, and dehumanizing training practices
