Furthermore, IDS provides Special Operations Forces (SOF) training to our nation’s most elite warfighters, such as Special Forces (SF), Civil Affairs (CA), Psychological Operations (PSYOP), and Rangers. Our SMEs are veteran soldiers whose backgrounds include the requisite SF, CA, PSYOP, CIA, JSOC, and military intelligence experience necessary to bring strategic aspects and expertise to SOF training.

Our teams are responsible for building content, managing curriculums, and developing scenarios and scripts for digital engagement at the BCT, ARCYBER, and Special Operations Task Force (SOTF) levels.
