Why the name Purple?
When the colours of all the U.S. armed services' uniforms are combined, the colour purple appears; therefore, military insiders refer to inter-service operations as "purple" operations.
The now ingrained ability of military services to "go purple" quickly has materially contributed to strategic and operational successes during the last 20 years.
So why choose Purple?
Our training and background in the ‘Purple’ environment means we have the skills and experience to integrate with your leaders and teams to ensure they can achieve enduring operational success no matter the circumstance.
