OUR MISSION
We've spent our careers investigating and responding to the worst-case scenarios people face. RAVEN'S NEST exists so you don't have to learn the hard way.
We’ve seen firsthand how fast normal moments turn into life-altering decisions.
We use over $1.1M in military- and law-enforcement-exclusive simulators to train:
Situational awareness
Verbal de-escalation
Use of force decision-making
Emergency planning
Active threat response
FROM GROUND ZERO TO GREEN BERET, WE TRAIN PROTECTORS.
WHY WE BUILT RAVEN’S NEST
Most people don’t rise to the occasion. They default to their training.
Raven’s Nest exists so that default works in your favor.
Black Raven Six is proud to support the Green Beret Foundation
