Five field guides. One mission. Built by a Green Beret 18D for the everyday operator.
The Pocket Coach Series Signature Edition is now in paperback. Five short, dense field guides across the four civilian-applicable pillars Team SOFAST trains: Drive, Shoot, Train, and Stop the Bleed.
Each book is 30 to 38 pages. Lined notes pages after every section so you can mark your own ground truth. Built to live in a glovebox, range bag, or kitchen drawer. Designed to be readable in the worst moment of someone's day.
Why this exists
In Special Forces we didn't invent any of these skills. We learned from civilian masters. Rally champions for driving. USPSA Grand Masters for shooting. Hybrid endurance athletes for fitness. Civilian trauma medics for medicine. Then we applied it under fire.
The Signature Edition gives the lifestyle back to the men who taught us. The brotherhood layer is what the military added on top — a tribe with a standard. That's the Team SOFAST mission.
