Program areas at Project Dynamo

Afghanistan: prepared, planned, coordinated, and executed the assembly of groups of american citizens, permanent resident aliens, and citizens of allied nations wishing and legally able to leave afghanistan. Contracted necessary food, housing, air and ground transportation, and medical support for evacuees pending evacuation. Facilitated government processing of documents necessary for international travel. Contracted or otherwise secured aircraft to transport evacuees from afghanistan to the united states and facilitated continued travel from the initial point of entry to their ultimate destination. Nomad: ground evacuation operations from afghanistan to neighboring countries of allies and partners to neighboring countries providing safe haven. Slingshot: air evacuation of us persons, lawful residents, and visa holders who are legally permitted to enter the united states, to the united states for reunification with families. Hostage rescues & special operations. The targeted rescue of american citizens who are held hostage, unlawfully detained, illegally charged, incarcerated or are at high risk of being captured and interrogated by foreign powers militaries, terrorist organizations, criminal elements, or intelligence services. These are intelligence and technology driven operations using the full-spectrum of tradecraft. Missions include: detroit lions, lone star, rio grande, green devil, twin cities, keystone, hollywood, outerbanks, four corners, kbar, stone street, all star, and tree stump. Ukraine. Prepared, planned, coordinated, and executed the rescue of american citizens, permanent resident aliens, and citizens of allied nations from ukraine and russian-occupied ukraine during the russian invasion of ukraine. Provided food, housing, air and ground transportation, and medical support for evacuees pending evacuation. Operation: apollo humanitarian rescue convoys. From small cars to 20-passenger sprinter vans to large 50-passenger coach busses, we have evacuated vulnerable civilians from the ukrainian war-zone and inside the russian occupied areas to neighboring nato countries. Over 150 missions completed. Operation: gemini. American and western surrogate newborn baby rescue operations. Rescues of newborn babies born in the war-zone who are american, but born to ukrainian surrogate mothers. These operations use neonatal specialists, doctors, and if needed, premature advanced life support ambulances. 60 operations completed 68 gemini babies (many are twins). Operation: aquarius. Like gemini missions, except the babies are not born yet. This is the tactical evacuation of pregnant ukrainian surrogate mothers carrying unborn american or western babies. These missions, once complete, turn into geminis after the babies are born. The women, and their families, must be evacuated from the war zones and occupied areas, but are forced to remain in ukraine because surrogate pregnancy is not legal in many countries. Once they give birth, Dynamo evacuates the babies and often the surrogate mother and her family. Operation: aries hostile medical evacuation operations. Civilians who are injured, hurt, infirmed, or wounded that are in the "hot zone- or the occupied areas. Project Dynamo provides medical care when, often, an ambulance is needed with a Dynamo medical team to evacuate them. Operation: atlas blind and deaf rescue program. Due to their disability, they are extremely vulnerable in the war-zone air raid sirens, bombs and gunshots cannot be seen or heard, making them even more vulnerable in areas of war. Operation: voyager holocaust survivor program. Because these vulnerable people are two-time victims of genocidal war and tend to be elderly, we treat these cases very special. Most voyagers are typically in high-risk areas who came to ukraine as refugees escaping nazi persecution during wwii. Project Dynamo conducts the rescue, evacuates them to safety, and then flies them to israel. Russia: sensitive rescue operations conducted inside russia of americans that are unilateral, kinetic, or non-negotiated. Dynamo conducted the first of these in us/russian history in november 2022 based in estonia. Operation: pathfinder. Rescue of two american citizens in russian custody under russian control. O cnn coverage of an operation inside russia to rescue american babies trapped: httpswwwcnncomvideosworld20221124... nstexasfamilyprojectdynamobryanst... o moscow times - same operation: httpswwwthemoscowtimescom20221124... dfromrussianorphanagegroupsaysa79... hurricane ian (Florida). Operation: home front. In october 2022, hurricane ian was barreling and tracked to hit tampa where Project Dynamo is headquartered. Hurricane ian changed trajectory and was predicted to then make landfall near fort myers. Recognizing a cat iv hurricane would cause tremendous devastation on the barrier islands and innocent civilians would be trapped, Project Dynamo quickly built a plan, set conditions for maritime and air rescues, and initiated operations prior to sunrise on day one. Dynamo boats were in the water conducting rescues before local, state, and federal agencies, even the u.s. coast guard. Operation: noahs ark. Large scale rescues of pets and rare animals trapped in barrier islands during hurricane ian. Counter human trafficking. Operation: lighthouse. Project Dynamo is combatting the scourge of humanity human trafficking. The horrific acts exploiting innocent lives, especially children, for labor and the sex trades shakes the very foundations of our civilization. Dynamo's operation: lighthouse, takes direct action and shines a light on the darkest corners of human trafficking, focused on the rescue of the most vulnerable victims: children. This is a war against the most vile forms of human exploitation, a war that demands the courage, commitment, and action of the brave men and women of Project Dynamo. China/taiwan. Operation: marco polo. Planning and preparation for american and allied rescues in response to the likely chinese invasion of taiwan and possible absence of u.s. government support.
