Partners & Composition · Briefing 05

Mission-specific partner composition.

Disaster Corps does not operate a paid coalition or a static partner roster. Partner teams are composed for each mission when there is a defined government requirement, a funded pathway, and clearly defined roles — always within the Courageous Horizons Program.

  • ·State emergency management & resilience agencies
  • ·State Veterans Affairs & Adjutant General offices
  • ·Federal partners (FEMA and related)
  • ·Rural development & infrastructure authorities

National Guard & Veteran

  • ·National Guard leadership & state Guard structures
  • ·Veteran-serving DoD and VA programs
  • ·Reserve and transition program offices
  • ·Veteran workforce and training partners

Public-Private Integration

  • ·Small businesses (debris, infrastructure, local services)
  • ·Infrastructure restoration and field-operations firms

  • ·Biomass utilization collaborators
  • ·Resilience and recovery research partners
  • ·Philanthropic and institutional funders

Public-Private Integration

Integration around missions, not membership.

Public-private integration is a core operating principle. Small businesses participate meaningfully — especially in debris, infrastructure, and local services — and technology partners test emerging solutions inside real readiness contexts. All of this is situated within specific missions of the Courageous Horizons Program, with defined workshare and mission roles.

Discuss a defined mission, requirement, or funded pathway.
