Project RELO

Project RELO transforms our understanding of the value and character of our veterans through intensive and immersive business leadership training exercises. We do this by pairing teams of executives with transitioning veterans in an exhilarating leadership curriculum, executed in partnership with our U.S. military sponsors and hosts. Run like a military operation on department of defense facilities, participants bond over scripted and unscripted adversity; deep and meaningful relationships are forged as teams are forced to rely upon one another to navigate through prepared objectives. Domain experts in these environments, veterans demonstrate their knowledge, selflessness, mission-orientation, ethics, and competence. It is here that Project RELO begins to change the mindset that they are not heroes, but rather strategic assets, and that hiring a vet is more than a social good, it is simply good business.

RELO Sentinel is our premier leadership development experience, where veteran experience in the field builds strength in the boardroom. Veterans don’t just talk leadership – they live it. RELO Sentinel teaches how to lead with clarity, courage and accountability when it matters most.

“The time to prepare a leader is before the chaos begins.”

RELO Forge is our veteran only mission, where bonds are reforged. Where warriors return – not to rest, but to rise again. RELO Forge draws from the discipline of the phalanx – tight formations, mutual reliance – and the transformative heat of the forge – where pressure and fire create something unbreakable.

This is not therapy. This is transformation.

This is not about recovery. It’s about reactivation.

This is RELO Forge.

Established in 2016, Project RELO is a not-for-profit organization focused on improving the quality and number of career opportunities being made available to veterans. Our founders recognized that while military veterans have unique skill sets that bring immediate and lasting value to organizations, many fail to effectively translate those military skills into the corporate skills recruiters look for when applying for jobs once their military service concludes. Likewise, few corporate leaders fully understand how to leverage our veterans’ background and training that, fully utilized, can help contribute to improving a firm’s overall performance.

Mission Statement: Our purpose goes beyond any single mission—it’s three-fold and deeply transformational:

1. Educating corporate America on the unmatched value of hiring veterans.
2. Delivering powerful leadership and team-building experiences that elevate organizations ready for their next stage of growth.
3. Empowering veterans to serve one another through shared experiences, mentorship, and camaraderie—and reigniting purpose in the process.
