THE FOUNDER
From Duty to Delivery
My name is Edgar, and I served four years in the United States Marine Corps as a Field Radio Operator with an artillery battalion. During my service, I also held responsibilities as a COMSEC Account Manager, a role that demanded precision, accountability, and strict adherence to established procedures. My military background includes extensive training and hands-on experience in marksmanship, weapons handling, and firearms safety. This training extended beyond accuracy, emphasizing discipline, consistency, and sound decision-making under stress, principles that remain central to my approach to responsible firearms use and instruction.

- EDGAR BRAVO, FOUNDER
In the field, there is no room for 'good enough.' I founded Phalanx on the belief that mastery is born from disciplined repetition and mechanical excellence. We don't just train you to shoot; we train you to think, react, and prevail with the same tactical rigor I carried in uniform.
