Experiences That Speak for Themselves
Had a heck of a good time with these folks and learned a ton. Always great to have opportunities to work with other agencies from other states. They have quite a cool set-up here.
Strategic Operations in San Diego is unparalleled when it comes to training and simulating combat-like scenarios. I’ve been utilizing their services for over six years now and would highly recommend this place to any entity looking to train for any combat or law enforcement situation.
Great programs and top notch people worth twice what I paid… Would Highly recommend to anyone of any level.

FAQ’s
Common questions from Procurement Officers about our Company and services
What certifications & compliance standards do your units meet?
All Rapid Response Refuge units meet FEMA P-85 Structural Requirements, IBC 2021, ADA Accessibility Standards, Sphere Project Humanitarian Standards, and UNHCR Guidelines. Units are certified for 90 MPH wind resistance with R-13 wall insulation and R-26.4 roof insulation. Full compliance documentation is available upon request during the RFQ process.
What is the typical from order to deployment?
Standard production lead time is 8-12 weeks from purchase order, depending on quantity and customization. Once on-site, our patented one-tool assembly enables 4-person crews to deploy complete 576 sq ft units in under 24 hours. For emergency scenarios, we maintain ready inventory for expedited deployment. Contact us early in your planning cycle to ensure timeline alignment.
Can your units be customized for specific mission requirements?
Yes. While our base model provides 3-bedroom family housing, we can configure units as medical triage facilities, mobile command centers, workforce dormitories, or educational facilities. Customizations include interior layout modifications, enhanced electrical systems for communications equipment, additional HVAC capacity, solar panel arrays, and specialized fixtures. We work directly with your team to match unit specifications to your operational requirements.
How do your units compare in total cost of ownership versus traditional trailers?
The Refuge units offer significant lifecycle cost advantages. We’re 40% lighter (reducing transport costs by ~35%), require no foundation or heavy machinery (saving $5,000-$15,000 per unit in site prep), and deploy in under 24 hours versus 3-5 days (reducing labor costs 60-75%). Units are reusable, redeployable, and field-serviceable. For large deployments (50+ units), total cost of ownership is typically 20-30% lower over 5 years. Detailed ROI projections available upon request.
