Veteran Training Pipeline
Tours of Duty offers a unique path for veterans. Here, you move from military service to meaningful stewardship. This pipeline is designed to arm you with skills that honor your continued service.
From Service to Stewardship
Your journey with Tours of Duty begins with a transition from service to stewardship. This isn’t just any program; it’s where your skills find new life. We provide the training that keeps you connected to a mission greater than yourself.
Our pipeline focuses on real-world applications. We teach you how to map out sites, operate drones, and more. Each tool you master makes you a steward of history. Your service continues, now with a new purpose: to remember and honor those who served but never returned.
Forensic Fieldwork Skills
Fieldwork demands precision. That’s where our forensic skills training comes in. You learn how to conduct searches that respect both the land and the stories it holds. This isn’t just about collecting data. It’s about ethical documentation standards and ensuring every step you take honors those we seek to remember.
Our training covers everything from site surveys to ethical documentation standards. You’ll learn to analyze landscapes while considering every detail. This knowledge is your key to effective, respectful fieldwork.
Historical Research Training
Beyond the field, there’s the archive. Historical research is essential to our mission. We teach you how to dig through records and piece together stories that have been waiting to be told. This isn’t simple research; it’s a quest for truth.
Your role is to uncover forgotten narratives. Through archival research methods, you will connect dots that lead to greater understanding. This training equips you with the tools to become a guardian of history.
Rigor and Purpose Behind Fieldwork
The mission requires both rigor and purpose. Each fieldwork operation is driven by a deep commitment to our nation’s promise. This section outlines the detailed training our veterans undergo to ensure fieldwork is conducted with precision and respect.
Humanitarian Search Missions
Our humanitarian missions are more than mere searches. They are acts of remembrance. Each mission is designed to uphold the dignity of those we seek. You’ll learn the intricacies of planning and conducting these missions, ensuring every step is purposeful.
In practice, this means understanding the terrain, the history, and the gravity of the mission. Each mission is a solemn journey to honor those who have gone missing.
GIS and Mapping for Veterans
Mapping is crucial in the complex landscapes we navigate. Our training provides veterans with the skills to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) effectively. These tools are not just about navigation; they are about seeing what others might miss.
By learning GIS, you gain the ability to create maps that tell stories. This skill empowers you to visualize and plan missions with accuracy. It’s a critical component of our fieldwork, ensuring each mission is grounded in solid data and understanding.
UAV Drone Certifications
Drones offer a new perspective on fieldwork. Our UAV certification program equips you with the skills to operate drones effectively. This training opens up new possibilities for mission planning and execution.
With these certifications, you gain a bird’s-eye view of potential sites. This perspective is invaluable for assessing terrains and planning missions more effectively. It’s a modern tool that enhances traditional methods, ensuring our missions are both thorough and respectful.
Inspiring Veterans and Supporters
Our mission extends beyond fieldwork. We inspire both veterans and supporters to join us in honoring those who served. Through support programs and mission-focused training, we aim to create a community united by a shared purpose.
Gold Star Family Support
Gold Star families are at the heart of our mission. We offer support and advocacy to these families, ensuring they are never alone in their journey. Our programs are designed to honor their sacrifices and keep the memories of their loved ones alive.
Through storytelling and advocacy, we bring their stories to the forefront. This support is vital in ensuring that these families receive the recognition and closure they deserve.
Veteran Reintegration with Purpose
Reintegration is more than returning to civilian life. It’s about finding new purpose. Our programs offer veterans a chance to reconnect with a mission-driven life. We provide the tools and support needed to make this transition meaningful.
Our approach is holistic, focusing on both professional skills and personal growth. We aim to empower veterans to continue serving in new, impactful ways.
Mission-Focused Training and Support
At the core of our mission is training and support. We offer comprehensive programs that equip veterans with the skills needed to lead successful missions. This training is designed to prepare you for every aspect of fieldwork and beyond.
With this training, you are not just prepared; you are empowered. You become a leader in search and recovery efforts, continuing a legacy of service and honor.
