Team Rubicon Rules

Years ago in a dangerous land far away, a group of brave men fought dangerous tyrants who strangled a land into oppression. This fearless group of men fought on the streets of Fallujah,  protected the civilians and rid these cities of the Al-Qaeda stronghold. Most of their firefights are archived on milbloggersphere, i.e. www.blackfive.net, Michael Yon's (fantastic journey with Ltc Kurilla and his troops of Deuce Four on the streets of Mosul is a must read.)

By the way they are called the United States Marines. They swept through the streets of Fallujah with guns and muscles. Taking out the bad guys into the trash pile and brought back clean ied-free streets to the children. Proudly these warriors came home state-side and became civilians. Gone were the fatigues, guns and humvees, back into blue jeans, debit cards and beat up ford pick-up trucks.
Unfortunately, some if not most of them brought home PTSD, meaning difficulty adjusting to civilian life, in part non-battle conditions. Many are on medications to help with the symptoms, which also carries the various side effects.

In January 2010, Team Rubicon was formed, they merge the skills and experiences of military veterans with emergency first responders.

In the wake of SuperStorm Sandy,  Team Rubicon with their military super muscles re-emerges onto the streets, this time with chainsaws and shovels not guns and humvees. Imagine 1000 veterans marching into town. Yeah!
*imagine this silly cheering at the pc when the news first erupted.

Team Rubicon is now in the areas stricken by Superstorm Sandy, helping to rebuild the streets again. This time with chainsaws and shovels. They call this Operation Greased Lightning.

An update I just received, Team Rubicon needs help  with teams on the ground. Help here.
Also members of the TR reported do not, I repeat, DO NOT feel the need to medicate their PTSD symptoms.

Here is their Facebook page with pictures.

These warriors just keep giving and giving.

Warning to potential looter, beware of Marines with shovels and chainsaws, they took out terrorists with IEDs, they will take you out like smacking a mosquito.
