Precision Focus Training and Consulting

The first time new consultants sit down to talk to Mr. Anthony Preston, President and CEO, they feel a mix of nervousness and excitement.

On the one hand, they are aware of the firm’s outstanding reputation for providing strategic, operational, and tactical level consulting to government and private sector industry partners supporting national and civil defense. On the other hand, upon entering the orientation room, they anticipate a warm welcome from Anthony, Precision Focus Training and Consulting’s esteemed leader-in-charge.

Preston’s warm and confident demeanor immediately puts the new consultants at ease. With a voice full of motivation, he informs, “No one works for me; everyone works with me,”— giving a strong impedance to the collaborative culture that he has cultivated at Precision Focus Training and Consulting.

Throughout the day, the new consultants are struck by the genuine camaraderie among the consultancy, the foundation of Precision Focus Training and Consulting’s success.

While Preston is the helmsman of Precision Focus Training and Consulting, steering the firm toward success, he always values and considers the input and insights of each team member, regardless of their position.
Tempered in the Crucible of Experience

As a small business consulting firm, Precision Focus Training and Consulting’s competitive edge is not forged in boardrooms or marketing campaigns; it’s tempered in the crucible of experience. The veteran-owned, veteran-staffed, and veteran-operated small business specializes in strategic, operational, and tactical planning. Its cadre of expert consultants consists of former military, government, and private sector senior leaders with real-world operational experience in their respective fields. The experts are respected throughout the industry and have decades of experience in their professional disciplines.

As the landscape of modern warfare evolves from less kinetic operations to a more cyberspace and information operations-centric posture, finding and retaining relevant expertise in fully integrated joint operations is becoming increasingly difficult. Having collectively executed more than 40+ years of global deployments supporting Joint Operations in such austere locations as the Philippines, Bosnia, Papua New Guinea, Iraq, and Afghanistan, Precision Focus Training and Consulting’s cadre of experts has that needed experience and expertise.

Rooted in Experience-Based Sound Reasoning

These bespoke solutions consider the mission objectives, feasibility, risk mitigation, costs, and other factors to ensure the outcomes are repeatable, scalable, and rooted in experience-based sound reasoning.
Precision Focus Training and Consulting’s expertise manifests in four key areas. The first key area is Joint Test and Development Support, where the firm weaves together C4ISR Interoperability Strategy and TTP development. By mastering Command and Control platforms like Link 16 and other tactical data link architectures, the company ensures that the secure digital network becomes the invisible nerve system, relaying critical information in real-time and allowing every element of the battlefield to anticipate and react as one, shaping desirable outcomes.

The next key focus area is Precision Focus Training and Consulting’s expertise in all areas of Joint Operations Planning and Execution. With deep know-how in special operations, it guides the entire spectrum, from doctrine and policy to planning and execution, ensuring even the most sensitive activities and irregular warfare missions unfold with meticulous precision.

Delivering Superior Results

Precision Focus Training and Consulting also shines as the master of Joint FIRES integration. It acts as the invisible conductor, advising commanders in the art and science of coordinating air strikes, artillery barrages, and cyber-attacks into a unified crescendo of force. With the expertise developed over the last 30 years, PFTC’s SMEs coordinate and synchronize the non-kinetic fires of information and cyberspace operations, asymmetric/irregular warfare, and sensitive operations into integrated deterrence efforts and, as necessary, integrate kinetic fires to achieve desired strategic results. As experts in the Joint Planning Process, Precision Focus Training and Consulting is able to create solutions that navigate dynamic environments from concept to execution and achieve the client’s desired results.

Finally, the firm’s Instructional Systems Design and Training Development prowess supports the next generation of warfighters, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to carry the torch. It crafts and delivers training programs that resonate with the harsh realities of kinetic and non-kinetic warfare on today’s modern battlefield, preparing students for current and future adversarial engagements.

“It is easy to get lost in the noise of contracting success and find yourself chasing all the shiny objects. Strict adherence to our core values and core competencies is paramount to our vision and success. We do not want to be the jack of all trades. While our service offerings may seem narrow to some, we are laser-focused on what we do as a firm,” says Preston. “We believe that with a rock-solid reputation of delivering superior results, the opportunities will come.”

Aiming to Support National and Civil Defense

In his quest for new opportunities, Preston’s biggest challenge as a leader is to grow the firm by forging new partnerships and securing suitable projects while remaining true to the firm’s core values.

He says, “It is very challenging to secure the right decision makers at larger organizations to present our potential solutions support and discuss the advantages of potential teaming arrangements.”

Preston ensures that the decision makers understand the substantial value in partnering with Precision Focus Training and Consulting to maintain and deliver on current projects, as well as demonstrate expertise and value in solutions that will win future projects. The firm is an expert at seamlessly balancing responsible growth with potential future opportunities.

Currently, most of Precision Focus Training and Consulting’s projects directly support the Department of Defense with various services and Combatant Commands. The bulk of the firm’s activities are centered in the National Capital Region (NCR). It is currently supporting the implementation of the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC) in the cyberspace arena, as well as the Joint Force Development of the Cyber Mission Forces and is planning to expand its footprint to locations in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Hawaii, and Colorado in support of combatant command operations.

“We are looking to enhance our partnerships with both the military and the private sector to develop interoperability between government and commercial platforms to support national and civil defense,” says Preston.
