One Shot One Kill—or OSOK—is an integrated Total Force Fitness (TFF) performance-enhancement training platform initiated in Iraq by Capt Travis Lunasco in 2007. It represents a holistic fitness approach, which is the foundation of the TFF approach advocated by the HPRC. The OSOK platform involves seven training "modules": Controlled Response, Mind Tactics, Performance-Based Nutrition, Primal Fitness, Purpose, Code, and Recharge. The purpose of the OSOK modules is to provide Warfighters the physical and mental skills required for acting/reacting optimally to future demands with optimal readiness.

The same principles used in athletics can also be used to enhance performance in marksmanship, combatives, fitness, job specialty, combat, relationships, parenting, etc., and ultimately enable warriors to reach their personal and professional goals.

OSOK-IP Solo

"OSOK-IP Solo" presents a step-by-step integrative training plan, with supplemental materials that enable the individual Warfighter to reach his or her optimal level of performance in every aspect of life and pursue this method of Total Fitness on his or her own.

OSOK-IP Unit

“OSOK-IP Unit” outlines how a unit can train collectively using OSOK-IP to enhance its members’ performance in almost all the areas of their lives, to include combat. Each unit can do this by selecting a top-performing Warfighter as the OSOK-IP representative to learn OSOK-IP integrative principles and pass it on to the other Warfighters in the unit through the concept of cultural integration. This section of the website provides a deeper understanding of the origin of OSOK-IP and enables the selected trainers to customize OSOK-IP content for their own military culture.

Important: It is recommended that those attempting to set up their own program first complete the OSOK-IP Solo program and meet the minimum selection requirements listed in the “Gold Medalist” section.

"OSOK Solo" presents a step-by-step adaptation of the OSOK training program that will help you pursue OSOK Total Fitness on your own. We will guide you through four essential “steps” of training:

• #1: 10 Rules of Engagement – Guiding principles to keep in mind throughout the OSOK training procedure.

•  #2: Self-Assessment – Determine what skills you already have in place, and use this assessment to create your personal plan for “module mastery,” which will enable you to achieve your target skill set.

• #3: The Seven Modules – Each module is a focused package of training methods that, taken together, enhance the skills you identified in the self-assessment step to achieve Total Fitness at the elite warrior level. As you work through these, you must apply the 10 Rules of Engagement to accomplish the desired results.

• #4: Putting It All Together – This is where you will assemble all the training and skills you gained from the Seven Modules and the 10 Rules of Engagement and put them to the test. After reviewing what you think you have achieved, you will take your new skill set through a trial run with Fundamental Marksmanship Skills to see if you really can achieve “One Shot One Kill.”

As you go through this training program, we will provide you with materials you can use to assemble your own OSOK Handbook, which will become your guide each time you come back to the OSOK program for a refresher course. As we obtain feedback from users like you, acquire new materials from the various Uniformed Services, and become aware of latest evidence-based findings, we will revise and update the HPRC to help you continually enhance your elite warrior skills.

Putting It All Together

Training as a team makes a team stronger. Military culture is founded on the concept of working as a team. OSOK is founded on the concept of training as a team. It was created for deployed military with the intention of transferring ownership of the program to respective units through a train-the-trainers course. In order for a military unit to pursue OSOK’s original training program, it must first select and prepare a trainer or trainers for the rest of the group.

The trainers need to be the brain-and-nerve centers of a unit’s OSOK training program. He or she will first take a course in OSOK like the one presented here, which provides background information not necessarily needed (or wanted) by all line members. However, thorough understanding of the background, intent, and development of OSOK is necessary for a trainer to deliver—and customize—the training materials effectively. The trainer is also responsible for revisiting the HPRC website regularly to collect and incorporate new and improved information and procedures and then provide the rest of the unit with refresher courses.

How do you decide who in your unit should be your trainer? Your team should select your best performer—an elite warrior, i.e., the Gold Medalists—someone who would receive the highest scores in the self-assessment step described in “OSOK Solo.” (If you have not yet visited that section of the OSOK web pages, we recommend you do so before delving further into the trainer-targeted information.)

HPRC provides here the concepts and materials that enable a unit’s trainer(s) to customize the OSOK program and make it uniquely suitable for his or her own unit’s culture—not only the particular branch of the Uniformed Services, but the particular combat unit and deployed environment. What’s more, the trainer can make use of any other information provided on the HPRC website to bolster the OSOK materials to meet the needs of the unit.

The trainer then uses these customized materials initially in a seminar format (usually two days, but depends on line conditions) designed to fit into the unit’s down time, when everyone who wishes to participate can do so together. Essentially, OSOK is implemented for the Warfighter by the Warfighter.
