Our Purpose
Friendly Forces is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping members of the Reserve and National Guard serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard integrate their service with gainful civilian careers. We connect them with employers who recognize their value, unique skills, and contributions to the country.
