Echo Company

About me:

Team Echo Company was founded in November of 2007 by 3 friends, Dietrich Adetayo, Craig Phillips, and Rick Case, who saw an opportunity to create an elite, military structured, airsoft team, and had a desire to find an action sport which allowed us to live out a dream.

Echo Company blends aspects of military, law enforcement, and hand to hand combat into more than just an airsoft team. We are a structure, and well functioning all around team. When we are not playing airsoft, we are training in martial arts, hand to hand combat, real steel firearm training, survival skills, and more.

Some of the things we cover are:
-Combat Akido
-Krav Maga
-Dim Mak
-Hand to Hand Knife Tactics
-Self Defense (armed and unarmed)
-Tactical Handgun Tactics
-Dynamic Entry Techniques
-360 Degree Awareness
-Tactical Rifle and Shotgun Tactics
-Land Navigation
-Physical Training
-and more. . .

It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend.
It is my life. I must master it,
as I must master my life.


Without me my rifle is useless.
Without my rifle, I am useless.
I must fire my rifle true.
I must shoot straighter than my enemy who
is trying to kill me.
I must shoot him before he shoots me.
I will.


Before God I swear this creed.
My rifle and myself are defenders of my country.
We are the masters of our enemy.
We are the saviours of my life.
So be it ... until there is no enemy


...but peace. Amen.

Home is the sailor, home from sea
Her far-borne canvas furled
The ship pours shining on the quay
The plunder of the world.


Home is the hunter from the hill
Fast in the boundless snare
All flesh lies taken at his will
And every fowl of air.


'Tis evening on the moorland free,
The starlit wave is still:
Home is the sailor from the sea,
The hunter from the hill.

We move as one.
A wall.
A perfect cell.
We attack as a whole.
We defend as a family.
We listen.
We strike.
We place no blame.
We take no prisoners.
We are warriors.
We are deadly.
We are vengeful.
Our hands are steady.
Our minds calm.
We are patient.
We are waiting.
