Mission First, People Always: Bridging the Gap for a Stronger Military Future.
When it comes to national defense, we proudly say “Mission first, people always”—but turning those words into lasting impact is what counts. Behind every mission, there are real people with real challenges, from recruitment to retirement.
The question is: How do we truly support them?
At the inaugural TotalForce+ conference, we're calling all branches, all ranks, every supporting organization, and industry partner to unite and advance meaningful solutions for our veterans, servicemembers, DoD civilians, and their families.
After all, better care leads to stronger recruitment, which builds a more resilient force—driving a continuous cycle that strengthens and secures the future of America’s all-volunteer fighting force.
”TotalForce+ creates a vital space for uniformed service leaders, industry experts, and partners to unite, tackle challenges, and connect decision-makers with solution providers. The benefits earned by those who serve reflect their sacrifice, and it's our duty to not only honor that but to find new ways to support all who protect our freedom, including DoD civilians and family members.”
