Special Tactics Solutions, Inc. was founded in 2011 by Shaun Rice to bring real-world experience, discipline, and consistency to Special Tactics training. What began as focused instruction for Combat Controllers quickly grew as customers recognized the practical, operator-driven approach the team brought to complex problems.

Today, STS, Inc. is a multi-million-dollar software, training, and mission support company supporting U.S. Government, allied, and partner organizations worldwide. While best known for developing mission-critical tools like the Talon Point Assault Zone Survey database, STS delivers far more than software. Our team, made up entirely of former Special Tactics operators and subject matter experts, supports the full spectrum of training, surveys, operational support, and advisory services.

Training remains a core pillar, with scenario-driven instruction and full mission profile events delivered across the U.S. military and allied forces. As the company expanded, so did its role, evolving into broader mission support under the principle of Professionalizing the Force™, with an emphasis on consistency, accountability, and real-world execution.

At its core, STS exists to solve hard problems with people who have been there before. Training, software, surveys, and operational support are not separate efforts. They are connected parts of the same mission.
