Recruiting Initiatives

Our Recruiting Initiatives program is dedicated to enhancing the recruitment efforts of State Defense Forces across the nation. By collaborating with The US Military and leveraging a wide range of advertising platforms—including social media, highway billboards, streaming services, TV, and radio—we aim to significantly boost the visibility and awareness of State Defense Forces. This comprehensive approach is designed to attract a diverse and committed pool of recruits, ultimately increasing the troop numbers and strengthening the operational capabilities of State Defense Forces nationwide.
