In 2002, David Burnell founded the Urban Warfare Center, driven by a relentless mission to prepare warriors for the chaos of real combat. For a decade, this facility opened its doors free of charge to military units and police officers, offering intense, realistic, scenario-based training that ensured they could fight, survive, and come home. Born in the wake of 9/11, the Urban Warfare Center was more than a facility—it was a sanctuary where warriors could bleed in training so they wouldn’t bleed in battle. From high-stress hostage rescue scenarios to chaotic CQB drills, warriors experienced sensory-loaded stress that forged skill and mindset under pressure. It was never about accolades; it was about the mothers and fathers who came home because they were prepared. The Urban Warfare Center became a proving ground for warriors, ensuring those who stepped into darkness could find their way back to the light.
