The special operations community has an ethics problem. While forward, operators frequently encounter lose / lose situations, and the community isn't preparing them properly to pick the best option. In part, the problem stems from the difficulty of the situations themselves, but it also stems from the community's treatment of ethics training as an individual task, when in reality it is not - it's a collective task, and it requires as much training as any other special operations skill set. This book presents a training plan to remedy that problem.

While the lessons and methodology presented are tailored to the special operations community and the problem it faces, they are applicable to many organizations that have to prepare their people to navigate ethically difficult terrain.
