We fight together & heal together.

Veteran Coalition International (VCI) exists to unlock the full potential of those who served across the NATO alliance and partner nations and ensure their continued contribution to society. Our mission is to promote access to the best resources and practices for our veterans everywhere they call home.

The challenge

Following more than seven decades of coalition operations together, our forces have returned home separately. But we’re far stronger when we heal and renew together. Here’s what we know:

  • Veterans receive varied levels of support to address the visible and invisible impact of service in conflict.

  • Allies and partners can benefit from shared lessons and best practices.

  • We can improve cross-border information exchanges to strengthen the hidden natural resource that our veterans represent for their nations.

Our response

Connecting veterans

We’re advocating for creation of an information hub to serve veterans and have initiated an effort to realize that goal.

Building resilience

Our experience tells us that veterans want a hand up not a handout. We’re investing in their resilience so that they can continue to contribute to society.

Creating a wounded care network

Inspired by the US Department of Veterans Affairs and myriad charities supporting veterans, VCI seeks to build knowledge bridges that address physical and mental traumas.

Supporting Ukraine

We’re developing veteran-to-veteran links to support the acute needs of Ukraine and the mental and physical recovery of soldiers and families.

“We support those who served so, when they return home, they can continue to serve their families, communities and nations.
