Overview

Mission

Military mobility specializes in off-road expeditions and resiliency training for veterans in need, to reduce the veteran suicide rate. Our mission is to put clients in a team environment which fosters camaraderie, trust, and inspires the realization that any challenge, no matter how great, can be overcome. Rugged geographic landscapes are used as a medium for the personal and professional challenges faced in life and four-wheel drive vehicles are used to literally navigate and overcome obstacles.

What it reported doing in 2023

Military mobility hosted 17 events and served 80 veterans in 2023 in ut, wy, ca, and nv. Mm specializes in off-road expeditions and resiliency training for veterans in need. Our mission is to put veterans back in a team environment which fosters camaraderie, trust, and inspired the realization that any challenge, no matter how great, can be overcome. We also provide professional development to aid in career advancement as well as valuable tools for transitioning or retired veterans. Military mobility identified an unmet need to create an inspirational home for learning amongst the veteran community and believes in providing opportunity and instruction where motivated individuals can: jumpstart passion, fuel teamwork, navigate uncertainty, gain traction in leadership, align strategic goals, and recover potential. This is not another trail ride. At our base camp veterans are inspirationally taught grit, leadership, and teambuilding techniques, then assigned roles/responsibilities and provided real world opportunities to apply the principles into action. The team will lead, manage, problem solve, and achieve mission success. Our carefully planned curriculum instills confidence, purposefulness, adaptability, and social support to build resilience. This amazing experience offers massive opportunities for positive transformational growth. 85% of veterans who completed the course reported a huge decrease in depression and ptsd related symptoms. 87% of veterans reported an improvement in family dynamics.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
