Deployments & Operations

Our Work

Before we brought our mission home, we proved it in some of the most hostile environments in the world.

Experience earned where it mattered most.

Every team member who will show up at a US disaster has already deployed to an active conflict zone. We know how to move fast, navigate military and government bureaucracy, coordinate with major international organizations, and get help to people when the situation is at its worst. That experience shapes how we approach every deployment — with the discipline, calm, and focus the job demands.

Below is the record.

2022 – 2024 · Multiple Deployments

Ukraine

Two years of sustained operations from the earliest days of the war, including multiple in-country rotations and stateside oversight that kept aid flowing between deployments.

July 4 – 8, 2025 · Kerrville, Texas

The Pivot

When catastrophic floods struck Kerrville on July 4th, our team responded immediately. What we saw changed the direction of the organization. Veterans who had lost their own homes were out helping their neighbors while quietly managing their own families. Because that is what Veterans do. They do not ask for help. But their families deserved support just as much as anyone else. Seeing that gap between what Veterans give and what they receive is what brought the Warfighter mission home.

  • Scouted shelters, churches, community centers, and law enforcement buildings to identify Veterans and families in need
