R3 is proud to have been awarded a coveted spot on a potential $950M contract for core services in support of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)’s domestic and international enterprise requirements. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to provide innovative strategic solutions in support of the USSOCOM mission.

USSOCOM develops and employs fully capable Special Operations Forces to conduct global special operations and activities as part of the Joint Force to support persistent, networked, and distributed Combatant Command operations and campaigns against state and non-state actors to protect and advance U.S. policies and objectives.

R3 Business Development Manager, Bill Brown, attended the National Association of Ordnance Contractors (NAOC) 2020 Capitol Hill Fly-In held in Washington, D.C.  R3 is a proud member of the NAOC team whose leadership is committed to advocating for industry funding, protecting contracting opportunities, and partnering with the government to provide consistency in business practices. During their visit, NAOC members met with Senators and Representatives to discuss increasing Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) funding by $100M which affects an industry composed of 350,000 employees from 80 companies, two-thirds of which are small businesses.

R3’s Trevor Maroshek speaks at a ceremony in Imperial Beach, CA at the unveiling of a bronze statue in Veterans Park that recognizes the service of military dogs and their handlers. The statue depicts Chopper, a jet-black German Shepard, that was Trevor’s military working dog when he was an active duty Navy SEAL.  Trevor helped launch the SEALs’ first canine unit and later started a nonprofit that helps connect veterans with service dogs. Among many of Chopper’s contributions was detecting hidden Taliban forces in Afghanistan in 2010 which prevented a large ambush attack.

After Trevor retired in 2012, he was able to reconnect with Chopper as his service dog, paving the way for other veteran handlers to adopt their canine partners. Chopper died of natural causes last summer but will live on in remembrance with the statue.  Trevor continues his service to the nation as an instructor at R3, training EOD forces in mounted and dismounted patrolling, squad tactics and advanced weapons usage.
