Since 9/11, United States and United Kingdom Special Missions Units have led an unprecedented pace of global counter-terrorism and strategic offensive operations unlike any other period in modern history. The owners and advisors assigned to Ryker Defense have been intimately involved in the shaping of our world for the last 20 years—having been entrusted with missions of National priority while members of the world’s premier Tier-1 units and through continued service as private citizens.

​

These missions have included the pursuit and elimination of terrorist leaders; countering the influence of antagonist first world nations; gathering critical intelligence in non-permissive territories; clearing enemy safe havens and returning control to indigenous communities; rescuing American and British citizens being held hostage by terrorist groups; protecting world leaders; disrupting finance and logistical operations by organized criminal groups; and organizing, equipping, and leading resistance groups in their struggles for freedom. 

​

Due to the nature of our multinational backgrounds, when necessary, Ryker is uniquely positioned to recruit experts to augment our project teams from across the FVEY community. We remain inspired by the uncompromising standards of the organizations that we have had the privilege of serving within and are encouraged by the belief that we can provide superior solutions to niche problems outside of the military and inter-agency arena.
