Special Ops Contractors & Former Navy SEALS Deploying to Ferguson

Asymmetric Solutions is a Division of Applied Defense Technologies. The St. Louis-based company is staffed by combat experienced SpecOps vets, including: Army Green Berets, Army Delta, Navy SEALs, SEAL 6, and Agency SOF. The company offers a real-world training environment with exceptional instructors on self defense from criminal violence.


We've been to Baghdad, Kabul, KL, Manilla, Peshwar, Bogata. Never guessed we would deploy a high threat team in our own city.

I mean, really, a private group of trained killers hired by private individuals to protect property in an area that has racial fault lines that would attract plants that are intentionally trying to start something.

What could possibly go wrong?
