If you want peace, be prepared for a war.
Unfortunately, this has not changed since the beginning of time. The sad truth behind this phrase is: If you are perceived as weak, others will use it to kill you; you become prey. You want peace? Be strong and be ready, so that others avoid provoking you. Sounds bad? It does! And it is! Especially in our advanced democratic age. But isn’t it true? Well, the latest wars show that it still is: Love of life is mistaken for weakness, kindness — for stupidity, humanity — for inability to fight back.
Since there is no alternative reality we can live in, we need to play by the rules of this one. But we must not forget that the goal of being prepared for war is to bring hope and save lives, everyone’s life.
Training to Save Lives: Si vis pacem para bellum
We always speak about strategy, battlefield skills, attacks, tactical advantages, and so on, but we forget the simple truth: we fight to save lives. Behind every strategy, attack, or defense are somebody’s lives: civilians’ or soldiers’, and we are fighting for them.
When we say “enhancing tactical skills,” what we really mean is a chance to be prepared and capable to save somebody’s life.
“Training in the realistic environment of urban settings” means giving kids a chance to grow up with their parents and for the soldiers to get back to their families.
“Functional furniture for a shoot house” or “Friend & Foe Targets” mean that “There may be innocent people in there; learn how to keep them alive, and don’t forget to stay alive yourself.”
These are the real meanings and the real goals behind Trango’s “Modular Infrastructure for Combat Training.”
We are here to create the best, most effective, and safest training environment, to prepare the soldiers and officers to act efficiently in critical combat situations while protecting and saving their lives and the lives of others. Because life is the most precious gift, and we are here to embrace it.
Be prepared to save lives
