Crisis Response Company

What Crisis Response Company does

Crisis Response Company, LLC (CRC) is a Texas-based, Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business founded in 2009 by Robert Akin that provides integrated risk management services to the US Department of Defense, US Department of State, and select commercial clients across more than 40 countries. The company operates five interlocking service pillars: Professional Advisory Services embedding subject-matter experts in aviation, special operations, logistics, construction, communications, security sector reform, and justice sector reform with partner nation forces; Contingency Logistics covering global movement, fuel supply (up to one million liters of ATA-certified Jet A1 monthly), camp services, and reception/staging/onward movement and integration; Specialized Military Training from curriculum development through tactical execution for organizations such as MARSOC; Construction Management for remote camps, hangars, dining facilities, and purpose-built structures using proprietary methods in partnership with Sprung Structures and Pacifica Ventures; and a Global Security Division launched in March 2020 providing physical security consulting, counter-surveillance, executive protection, and threat assessments.

CRC delivers these services through an enterprise field sales motion that relies on direct engagement with government decision-makers and senior leadership involvement in key accounts, generating revenue via professional services contracts awarded on a quote/project basis with US federal agencies and select commercial customers. The company maintains dedicated program management offices in Guatemala City, Tegucigalpa, Lima, Manila, and three sub-Saharan African locations, enabling rapid deployment into austere and high-risk theaters.

The business is founder-led with no disclosed institutional capital, no parent company, and 11-50 employees, but is supported by a senior leadership team that includes former FBI National Security Branch executive Jay Tabb, a 30-year USAF Chief Growth Officer, and multiple former US Marine Corps special operations veterans. CRC's competitive positioning rests on a talent moat built around federal, military, and law enforcement expertise, a global distribution footprint that few boutique SDVOSBs can match, and regulatory access through its veteran-owned small business status.
