Humanitarian Response Corps

Deploy with veteran-led teams for CONUS and OCONUS disaster relief and humanitarian aid. Selection-based. Non-combat. Mission-driven.

Deployable Skills
Needed

HRC volunteers are selected based on readiness, specific skills, and operational fit. All deployments are non-combat humanitarian missions. Prior military or first responder experience is valued but not universally required — specific skill sets matter most.

Priority Skill Areas

  • Logistics & Supply Chain — Planning, sourcing, transportation, and distribution in austere environments
  • Emergency Communications — Radio operations, coordination, and field communications
  • Medical Support — EMT, paramedic, combat medic, or nursing skills for field triage and care
  • Construction & Engineering — Shelter building, structural assessment, debris clearance
  • Water & Sanitation — Water purification, distribution, and sanitation operations
  • Team Leadership — Mission planning, team coordination, and after-action documentation
  • Administrative & Support — CONUS-based operational support for deployed teams

Selection & Readiness Process

  • Application and skills assessment review
  • Readiness screening — physical, logistical, and mission-fit evaluation
  • Training cycles — mission orientation, safety protocols, humanitarian principles
  • Deployment assignment based on skills and operational requirements
  • After-action review and continuous improvement

HRC Volunteer Standards

  • Strict non-combat mandate — all missions are humanitarian in nature
  • Humanitarian principles: humanity, neutrality, impartiality, independence
  • Safety protocols and partner coordination required for all deployments
  • Confidentiality and professional conduct standards apply at all times
