TRIDENT DEFENSE INITIATIVE
Trident Defense Initiative (TDI) was founded shortly after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Our founder Dan, a former British soldier who joined the Ukrainian marines, found himself caught in Bucha and cut off from his unit in Mariupol.
After the siege of the Azovstal steelworks Dan could not re-establish contact with his unit and his contract with the Ukrainian military soon ended.
Not wanting to give up the fight, Dan decided to find a way to pass on his experience to train and prepare Ukrainian soldiers and civilians for warfare, with both medical and tactical training.
This vision became TRIDENT DEFENSE INITIATIVE.
We have already built a dedicated team of Ex-NATO instructors and highly skilled specialist civilians within Trident Defense Initiative, all of whom are rigorously vetted to ensure that we can offer comprehensive training that matches the skills and needs of our students.
We are the only organization in Ukraine willing and able to train alongside units at their forward training camps, working at the direct request of individual unit commanders.
This allows us to ensure that every unit we train is official and recognized by the Ukrainian government.
We have previously trained units of the Territorial Defense Force, National guards, Regular army, and SF units.
