ONE MISSION.
MANY WAYS
TO CONNECT.
That can mean getting behind the wheel, hitting the trail, getting out on the water, attending a game with other veterans, learning a new skill, or simply finding a group of people who understand where you've been.
We're not here to replace the VA or clinical care. We're another piece of the team — creating connection, engagement, and community upstream from crisis care.
Veterans. Active duty. Spouses. Families. One Team.
OPERATION
SOLID GROUND
Land-Based Recreation & Outdoor Programming
Sometimes the best conversations don't happen sitting across a table. They happen while you're working on something, moving down a trail, competing beside someone, or figuring out the next challenge together.
Operation Solid Ground brings our land-based programs under one mission: creating active, hands-on experiences where veterans, service members, and families can reconnect with the camaraderie and shared purpose that come from doing something together.
Heroes & Horsepower
Automotive • Motorsports • Powersports
Heroes & Horsepower combines our community with the automotive and powersports worlds through hands-on projects, motorsports experiences, mechanical skills, and team-based activities.
We're building the program toward a larger vocational model that can also create pathways into automotive, marine, and powersports certifications.
Status: In Development / 2027 Expansion Target
Rough Riders
Trails • Off-Road • Equestrian • Outdoor Adventure
Rough Riders gets our community off the pavement and back outside.
Programming can include trail activities, hiking, overlanding, off-road and powersports experiences, equestrian activities, and other outdoor adventures built around shared challenge and peer connection.
You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be willing to show up.
Arrows Away
Archery • Outdoor Skills • Team Recreation
Arrows Away brings veterans and families together through archery-based recreation and outdoor experiences.
From introductory opportunities to organized group activities, the goal is simple: learn a skill, focus on the task in front of you, and enjoy the company of people beside you.
OPERATION
OPEN WATERS
Water-Based Recreation & Adventure
There is something different about getting away from the noise and getting out on the water.
Operation Open Waters creates opportunities for veterans, service members, and families to experience boating, fishing, diving, paddling, and other water-based activities alongside their peers.
No formation. No office. Just a crew, a shared experience, and some time outside.
Anchors Away
Boating • Fishing • Paddling • Coastal Adventures
Anchors Away is our general water-based recreation program.
Depending on location and available opportunities, events may include boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, coastal outings, and other group experiences designed to bring people together on the water.
Scuba
Discovery Dives • Group Diving • Underwater Experiences
Our Scuba program gives veterans and service members opportunities to experience the underwater world alongside other members of the JTF community.
Programming can range from introductory diving experiences to group dives and selected certification opportunities.
JTF's active Scuba programming includes partnership opportunities with organizations such as the Georgia Aquarium.
Status: Active
OPERATION
CLEAR SKIES
Air & Aviation Programming
In Development
Operation Clear Skies will expand JTF programming into aviation and air-based recreational experiences.
We're taking the same approach we use everywhere else: build the right partnerships, create safe and meaningful experiences, and make sure the program serves the mission before we scale it.
More information will be released as individual Clear Skies programs are finalized.
Community, Recreation & Shared Experiences
Not every meaningful JTF experience requires a trail, a boat, or a piece of equipment.
Operation One Team One Fight creates opportunities for our community to simply get together — sporting events, entertainment, community activities, volunteer projects, local ambassador events, and other experiences that keep veterans and families connected.
This is where our motto becomes something you can actually participate in.
One Team. One Fight. Never Alone.
Seats of Valor
Sports • Entertainment • Community Experiences
Seats of Valor connects veterans, service members, and their families with donated and sponsored tickets to sporting events, entertainment, and other community experiences.
But this isn't just about giving away a seat.
We use those opportunities to bring people together, introduce veterans to the larger JTF community, and turn a night at the game into the beginning of a longer connection.
Status: Active

BASECAMP
Family & Community Connection
(In Development)
The mission shouldn't end when an event is over.
Operation Basecamp is being developed as JTF's family and long-term community connection program — creating additional ways for veterans, spouses, dependent youth, and other participating families to stay involved between major events and programs.
Our goal is to turn individual experiences into lasting relationships and give families a place within the JTF community — not just a seat on the sidelines.
Wellness & Recovery
Some situations call for a smaller group, a little more time, and a more intentional environment.
Operation Bunker Buster focuses on wellness and recovery through structured experiences, peer connection, wellness activities, and access to appropriate resources.
JTF complements the services available through the VA and other qualified providers. Our role is to help veterans stay connected, engaged, and surrounded by people who understand the culture while connecting participants with additional support when needed.
OPERATION
BUNKER BUSTER
CAREER SKILLS
& EDUCATION
Build What's Next.
Connection and purpose aren't limited to recreation.
JTF's Career Skills & Education programs help veterans, service members, and their families pursue education, professional certifications, workforce skills, and new opportunities after military service.
JTF Scholarship Fund
The JTF Scholarship Fund is designed to help reduce financial barriers to education, training, and career development opportunities that can help members of our community move forward.
Certifications & Career Training
JTF is developing opportunities to connect participants with professional certifications, skilled-trade training, career education, and industry-recognized credentials.
Our broader workforce programming, including future SkillBridge opportunities, is being built to create practical pathways from military experience into meaningful civilian careers.
JTF Sports programming is built for:
U.S. veterans from all eras
Active duty service members
Spouses and direct family members
Dependent youth when appropriate for the individual program or event
Families don't just watch from the sidelines. When the activity allows it, we want them participating with us.
Program eligibility, age requirements, locations, availability, and capacity may vary by event.
WHO CAN
PARTICIPATE?
HELP MAKE
THE NEXT ONE
POSSIBLE.
Every event takes equipment, access, transportation, facilities, qualified partners, and people willing to step up and make it happen.
Donor, sponsor, volunteer support helps us remove barriers so more veterans, service members, and families can participate — and keeps the door open for the person who hasn't found their way to us yet.
You can help fund a seat, an experience, a certification, a piece of equipment, or an entire program.
You don't have to wear the uniform to be part of the team.
