Team Rubicon's mission is to unite the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams. Team Rubicon formed in January 2010 following the Haiti earthquake, when McNulty and Wood led a medical team into Port-au-Prince three days after the quake. On the streets of Port-au-Prince, TR's military veterans realized a simple truth: natural disasters present many of the same problems that confront troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, such as unstable populations, limited resources, and uncertain information. The skills cultivated on those same battlefields - emergency medicine, risk assessment and mitigation, teamwork, and decisive leadership - are invaluable in disaster zones.Since the Haiti earthquake, Team Rubicon has deployed on over 100 operations including international operations in Pakistan, Chile, Burma, Sudan, and Turkey. Domestically, Team Rubicon responded to the Midwest tornado outbreak, Branson, Missouri tornado, the Dallas area tornadoes, Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Debby, Hurricane Isaac, Hurricane Sandy, and the tornado destruction of Moore, Oklahoma. The team's role in domestic disasters is both to provide timely humanitarian assistance and as an outlet to let veterans continue to serve.
