The Special Operations Candidate Development (SOCDEV) program is an elite Human Performance-based Strength and Conditioning program that focuses on an unrelenting 100 percent success rate for those interested in pursuing a career in U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) or Marine Reconnaissance. 

SOCDEV implements a detailed and unrivaled scientific approach to elite human performance training and is unlike any other training program available in the civilian sector. SOCDEV does not believe or partake in the prewritten process for the masses. Whether training remotely or in-person, every aspect of training is designed and tailored specifically for each individual future operator on student status.

Staying true to our mission, purpose, and our unrelenting 100% success rate, SOCDEV diligently interviews and enrolls only those who are truly focused and adamant about pursuing a successful career within the special operations community of their respective military branch. This program is for both civilians looking to earn a special operations contract, and for active-duty service members who are interested in joining the ranks of the elite.

All SOCDEV athletes awarded with the prestigious “Push the Fight!” scholarship have successfully completed their specific special operations and BRC selection pipelines and have gone on to successful careers within the U.S. Special Operations and Marine Reconnaissance communities.
