Combat Support Institute was founded in 2025 by Erick and Dr. Neysa Holmes. We wanted to create a community online outreach resource for combat veterans and their families.
Erick served 5 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the US Army's 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne).
Combat Support Institute (CSI) is a mission-driven organization dedicated to empowering military personnel, veterans, and their families through comprehensive training, education, and wellness programs that enhance readiness, resilience, and reintegration. Founded by experts with deep military and academic experience, CSI serves as a trusted resource at the intersection of tactical support, trauma-informed care, and lifelong development. Through cutting-edge instruction, holistic recovery models, and collaborative partnerships, we prepare warriors and their communities not only for combat—but for the life that follows.
