Our Story


The genesis of Viking 6 Tactical traces back to the call sign of George Rodriguez during his tenure as a Company Commander in Iraq - Viking 6, where "Viking" was the Company Call -Sign and '6' symbolized his commanding position. George's journey embodies a steadfast commitment to service and education, spanning years in the National Guard as an instructor, training future NATO partners across various domains. Upon retiring from the Vermont State Police, George founded Viking 6 Tactical with a vision to equip individuals for an uncertain future. He commenced by offering preparedness classes while continuing to impart drug recognition and education seminars across Vermont. However, upon relocating to Florida, aspirations to expand the company were momentarily halted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the core ethos of Viking 6 Tactical remains unwavering - empowering individuals to take charge of their own safety and protection. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, we remain resolute in our mission. As we settle into our new home in Florida, we eagerly anticipate resuming and expanding our services. Looking ahead, Viking 6 Tactical envisions incorporating virtual and simulated training scenarios to augment our offerings, ensuring our clients receive the most comprehensive and immersive learning experiences possible. With a focus on preparedness, empowerment, and innovation, we are poised to continue making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve. At Viking 6 Tactical, the journey is just beginning, and we invite you to join us as we navigate the path ahead, prepared and empowered for whatever challenges may arise.
