About Our Gunsmithing & Training
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, where precision, accountability, and adherence to strict procedural standards were critical to mission success. Throughout my time in the Marine Corps, I completed the Marine Corps Designated Marksman Course and served as a Marine Corps Weapons Coach, gaining extensive experience in marksmanship instruction, weapons handling, and shooter development. My training emphasized not only accuracy, but discipline, safety, and decision-making under stress.

- 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.
