A significant motivation for Sea Air Land Challenge is to expose students to careers in the Department of Defense. Our challenges are unique because students have the opportunity to interact with retired and active duty special operations forces. These dedicated soldiers and sailors are often first adopters of technology and have deep insight into the requirements of the defense department. These individuals have gained significant notoriety for their bravery and patriotism in the global war on terror, resonate with students and, help educate them on the importance of careers in the Department of Defense.
We continually seek retired SoF personnel to support the Sea Air Land Challenge. This may be as a Challenge Day speaker or attendee or to provide input for the Challenge missions.
