Eagle OPS Overview
Our Mission : Connecting Relationships & Resources to bring our Heroes Home, One Operation at a Time. EAGLE OPS focuses on direct community engagement & action, creating & mobilizing Rally Points, a concept leveraged from military culture, to connect and build relationships with service members, veterans, their families and Patriots. These Rally Points bridge b
oth relational & resource connections that support our nation’s heroes in their battle for home. Through these relationships EAGLE OPS identifies service members’ and/or veterans’ needs and connects them with the resources to assist them in their transition home. It is our three Rally Point Pillars that empower us to ensure we’re living out our mission. The pillars are below, but ask us to learn more around the why of the mission critical pillars:
The Ask | The Oath | The Challenge
EAGLE OPS mobilizes under four main operations: Outreach, Reach One More, Difference Makers and Operation Hand-Up. These four operations create a platform for our boots on the ground missions.
· Operation Outreach — Direct Community Engagement with other Veteran Service Organizations, Tribes, Government Agencies, the Private Sector, Local Events, etc., where we meet one-on-one with nonprofit leaders, company executives, etc., or set up our Operation Outreach Tent in order to educate, collaborate, and build the community based, unilateral front necessary to bring our heroes home, one operation at a time.
· Operation Reach One More – This operation is mobilized through boots on the ground missions centered upon our Rally Points. Eagle OPS’ Rally Points are specific locations where service members, veterans, & their families, as well as patriots “rally” to form meaningful bonds with each other through social events and activities that we call Rally Points. These connections build upon the meaningful, culturally based normative that we, as veterans, knew in order to form meaningful relationships that combat loneliness, isolation, su***de. We mobilize these via Rally Points.
· Operation Difference Makers – Recognizing the deep military cultural mindset of “Service” that our veterans hold dear, we actively engage community partners to provide opportunities for veterans, veteran families and patriots to be Difference Makers by connecting with each other and their communities through acts of service and volunteerism.
· Operation Hand-Up – This operation exists to fill financial gaps for veteran focused partner organizations. See what our Operation Hand-Up looks like here: www.eagleops.org/handup

Finally, we have an annual event called our Eagle OPS WELCOME HOME 5K where we honor our service members, veterans, their families, and those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice via our Honor Mile. We partner with Gold Star Families to make this Honor Mile possible. And thank you to Williams Companies for being one of our first & ongoing major supporters. � Below is a short video from the WELCOME HOME 5k Rally Point held at Mohawk Park each year.
