Many special operations veterans look for work after service that draws on the skills and sense of purpose they built in uniform. Special Ops Magazine recently profiled one of them: Jeff Tiegs.
According to the post, Tiegs spent more than 25 years in Army special operations. He went from Ranger private to Green Beret to Delta Force operator and troop commander, saw combat in Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan, and received a Silver Star for valor in Iraq.
After the military, he turned to countering human trafficking, first with Guardian Group and then with Skull Games, the nonprofit he founded. The magazine reports that veterans and analysts with the organization use open-source research, including online ads, slang and networks, to identify trafficking victims and the people exploiting them. The post also describes a Survivor-Hunter track that trains women who have left the trade to work on that research alongside veterans. Skull Games describes itself as a veteran-founded and veteran-operated organization that works with law enforcement.
Tiegs’s path shows one way the analytical and teamwork skills of special operations can carry into a second career. Special Operations Support Inc. respects the veterans who continue to serve their communities after they hang up the uniform.
