Understanding Deadly Conflict

Troysgate's Specialization and Expertise Is Our Understanding of Human Deadly Conflict

We understand how and why people kill each other, and the physiological and psychological effects it has on the individual, as well as the long lasting and damaging consequences that person may experience and bear for the rest of his or her life. The reality is quite simple... good people kill bad people and bad people kill good people. Unfortunately it is a fact of human nature and existence, and we will never be able to change it. However, Troysgate can help improve a person's chance of survival if that unlikely event may happen to them, and lessen the adverse effects and consequences, so that they can continue to live a productive and meaningful life.

We employ and use serveral variations of our operational system at the Troysgate facility in North Carolina to better serve high risk personnel that may be involved in deadly conflict situations and the types of situations they most likely might encounter in the performance of their duties. Well over eighteen thousand personnel from law enforcement, military, federal agents and armed security have gone through Troysgate operational systems where we have conducted over 250,000 deadly conflict exercises.

From our observations and the data and information we have collected and analyzed, it clearly demonstrates that every deadly encounter regardless how similar or different it may be will end in an outcome that cannot be predicted in advance. Human assessment, decisions, actions and response leading up to and during a deadly engagement will always be highly variable and unique based on that individual regardless of their knowledge, level of training, years of service, and personal experiences. We know and understand the human emotional, psychological and physiological effects an individual may have during deadly conflict, and we recognize and understand that deadly conflict situations have far reaching and unpredictable effects that impact a person, both immediately and over extended periods of time.

    We know without question and fully understand that training an individual to be able to act and repond during a deadly encounter does not prepare and condition that individual emotionally, psychologically and physiologically for deadly conflict which will always be the critical determining and deciding factors in the individual's performance capabilities and survival, as well as the survival and well being of others that may be directly or indirectly involved.

Our Customers and How We Are of Service

We have tried so many different approaches spanning more than a decade figuring out the best way to let people know about who we are and what we do... and how we can help those that may come to see us. It's been extremely challenging because of the nature of what we do is very complicated and complex. You can't read or be told about Troysgate to immediately see and understand how it can benefit you. You must visit us... then and only then can you begin to really see what we are about and what we have to offer.

Our Top Tier Customer

Our top tier customers include the military, law enforcement, federal enforcement and armed security, and for good reason because in each of these professions, those that serve in that capacity have the duty and responsibility to protect and serve the public at large whether at home or abroad. These men and women are on the front line and out in the field where they are constantly at risk and have the highest probability of being involved in deadly conflict situations.

Our Second Tier Customer

Our second tier customers include all top tier customers and just about everyone else for the simple reason that anyone, at any given place and at any moment could become an intended target or unintended target we refer to as collateral damage as a result of a deadly encounter event. Although the probability of being involved in a deadly conflict situation is rare and may never happen to you, it can and does happen. A top tier customer may never see combat or pull their service issued weapon during their entire career, but the individual still has potential risk when off duty and at home with their family, or away from home out in public. Regardless of anyone's profession, we catagorize second tier customers as our civilian group because the majority will possess personal firearms - a permit for at least one handgun and possibly hold a concealed carry permit, and/or have other firearms. The availability of firearms within the civilian population is staggering and because of that there is higher potential and risk that a fiream might/will be used in a deadly encounter situation.
