What Troops2Logistics does

Troops2Logistics is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, with additional operational offices in St. Louis, Missouri and Traverse City, Michigan. Its stated mission is to mentor and coach U.S. military veterans, National Guard members, reservists, and military spouses for careers in the logistics and supply chain sector, providing free services to candidates and operating with a stated pass-through rate of more than 95% of donations directly into mission programs.

The organization delivers its services through direct mentorship, scholarship support, and structured career events such as the Early Summer Logistics Career Event scheduled for June 16, 2026. It supports its coaching work with third-party AI and Machine Learning HR platforms for career analytics, layered onto a human mentor model. The program is embedded in a partnership ecosystem that includes LTNA (Logistics Talent Network of the Americas), the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM) San Diego Chapter, the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC), the National Defense Transportation Association (NDTA), and job board partners Beacon, Watco, and Logistics Jobs Online. The organization is registered with the U.S. Department of Labor Veterans' Employment and Training Service Employment Navigator and Partnership Pilot (DOL VETS ENPP).

The business model is donation- and sponsorship-driven rather than fee-based. Corporate supporters can join a three-tier sponsorship program (Red at $2,500 annually, White at $5,000 over two years, and Blue at $10,000 over three years), with the top "Founding 5 Club" tier anchored by named logistics employers WEL STL, Fox Logistics, CEVA Logistics, Cordele Intermodal, and Sarge Delivers. Additional revenue comes from individual donations and scholarships, with no fee charged to the veteran or military-spouse candidates the organization serves. The 11-50 employee scale and mission-first cost structure position the organization as an early-stage nonprofit scaling its program footprint rather than a revenue-maximizing enterprise.

Scale indicators4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Hiring Our Heroes: U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation program that connects veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses with employment opportunities across industries including logistics. Most comparable because it offers free career coaching, mentorship, and employer-matching similar to T2L's model, but at significantly larger scale.
• Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF): Syracuse University's IVMF runs career-training and entrepreneurship programs for veterans and military spouses. Comparable to T2L because of its veteran-transition focus, structured training cohorts, and corporate-employer partnerships, though it covers many industries beyond logistics.
• Hire Heroes USA: Nonprofit providing one-on-one career coaching, resume assistance, and job sourcing to transitioning service members and veterans. Directly comparable to T2L's mentoring and job-sourcing services, with broader industry coverage but a similar free, mentorship-led delivery model.
• American Corporate Partners (ACP): Nonprofit pairing veterans and military spouses with corporate mentors for career guidance. Closely comparable to T2L's one-on-one mentorship value proposition, operating nationwide but without T2L's logistics-vertical specialization.
• RecruitMilitary: Veteran-employment platform hosting career fairs, a job board, and career-coaching services. Comparable to T2L because it shares the career-event + employer-matching + veteran-coaching bundle, and overlaps with T2L's job-board partners such as Beacon and Logistics Jobs Online.

Emerging players

• FourBlock: Nonprofit helping transitioning service members translate military experience into civilian careers through cohort-based career-readiness programs. Comparable to T2L's structured training-resource and mentorship approach, with a smaller industry focus than Hiring Our Heroes.

Broad incumbents

• Wounded Warrior Project: Large nonprofit serving post-9/11 wounded veterans with career-transition and mental-health programs. Broader scope than T2L but competes for the same veteran-candidate attention and donor dollars, and offers career-coaching services that overlap with T2L's mentoring.

Others

• National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC): Existing resource partner of Troops2Logistics. Comparable as an adjacent veteran-services ecosystem organization that supports veteran-owned businesses; complements T2L rather than directly competing for individual candidate placement.
• Logistics Transportation Network Association (LTNA): Founding partner of Troops2Logistics and the source of its 100+ years of combined mentor experience. Adjacent ecosystem organization rather than a direct competitor, but material because it is the operational and talent pipeline behind T2L's mentor bench.
• ASCM (Association for Supply Chain Management): Supply-chain professional association that supplies discounted training courses to T2L candidates via its San Diego Chapter. Comparable as an enabling ecosystem partner in the veteran-into-logistics pipeline rather than a competing placement provider.
