About Evolutions

Evolutions brings members of the public, veterans, and first responders together for hands-on experiences led by military, public-safety, medical, and other professional instructors. Participants learn skills, apply them in supervised scenarios, and spend time with the people beside them.

Previously known as Black Ops Legacy, the event helps fund War Feather’s six-month program for selected veterans and first responders.
