Our mission is to directly or indirectly provide US military men and women with ancillary non-lethal equipment and other necessities, thereby improving their safety, comfort, readiness, and efficiency, in and related to, areas of combat operations.
From the Chairman and Board of SAS – The US has been involved in the War on Terror for several decades. During this time the operational tempo on the ground has increased as missions to protect us have broadened. As our world changes rapidly, fewer soldiers are tasked with larger mission parameters. We ask that you be aware that even the best
equipped military in the world needs some help for those at the pointed end of the spear from time to time.
Problem #1 – Equipment made to military specifications and able to be sent to the field for individual soldiers often takes 2 years to test, develop, and manufacture in needed quantities. During that time and in today’s technical and innovative world there is ever changing and improving gear and equipment made in the private sector at a pace not seen before. Gear for civilian or police/ tactical use, outdoors sports, or adventurers is developed and on the market in a matter of weeks or months. Therefore, while “mil spec” gear is the very highest quality equipment, many items for the individual soldiers may be technically obsolete by the time it is issued.
Problem #2 – “Mil spec” gear is only meant to be fielded for given amounts of
time and use. Currently, and for some years, the operational life of many pieces
of gear, especially those items used by the individual combat soldier, have been
stretched to the limits of their designed parameters by the many missions
required. Support A Soldier works with individuals and teams actually in areas of combat operations to solve these issues. It is what we do.
Please join us. We need you.
We provide non-lethal equipment to deployed troops worldwide that will help to make them safer, more efficient, and/or more comfortable in their austere environments. We provide this support through our patriotic contributor’s donations. Whether you would like to help a specific soldier you know and care about, a unit, a team’s specific request, or our general fund, your donation will always go to someone in harms way that needs an edge.
90+ % of your donations go directly to soldiers in hostile areas around the world. We are all volunteers with minimal administrative costs, no fancy offices, no company
cars, no employees, no salaries, no benefits, and no trips to Vegas on your dime.
We are “grunts” just like those in the trenches.
Volunteer at an event to help raise funds for soldiers in need. Learn more about volunteer opportunities.
Hosting a fundraising event is one of the best ways to support our foundation and to give back to the troops.
Donations make it possible to purchase gear that our service members need to complete their job overseas.
