In 2024, Arc of Justice's pioneer program, codenamed Operation Reckoning, offered advocacy services for active-duty wounded warriors in the United States Armed Forces. Each individual served is enrolled in, or is about to be enrolled in, the Integrated Disability Evaluation System. Services provided include: advocating for the individual with their military command, with a bureaucrat from the Defense Health Agency (DHA), obtaining relief through Congressional Requests For Assistance, and/or providing knowledge of how lDES works so the wounded warrior can successfully navigate the system in order to secure the best possible outcome before their transition to becoming a veteran and civilian. Through this program, our principal worked mostly on Appellate representation for a Reserve service member who has had continued obstacles where advocacy is needed. 0 14693 Because the demand far outweighs the principal's ability to offer pro bono services, while staying financially solvent, Arc of Justice has partnered with other organizations to be able to refer individuals toward additional legal services to help navigate issues outside the scope of what Arc of Justice provides. This has allowed our organization to help connect our target population with tailored advocacy and to focus in more thoroughly on those specifically navigating IDES. A sacred tenet in our organization's ethos is that we will never turn away a wounded warrior without helping them, including but not limited to listening to their story and making the appropriate referral if we cannot assist them according to our founding charter. 0 12244 Our efforts continue to make the public aware of our Warfighters' challenges through education and presentations. Media appearances from recent years continue to circulate on the web and are shared as resources for the public to learn about the needs of our active duty wounded warrior population. Overall reach of public engagements continues to be over 100,000. 0 0 A newly formed program, codenamed Operation Friendly Fire, was born out of the need to bring greater public awareness to garner support in Congress. This program has been given the task of filming and producing a documentary which tells the entire Arc of Justice story and highlights some of the clients we've served. 0 74687 In conjunction with the documentary, the tertiary program codenamed Operation Washington's Immortals, led to bipartisan legislation entitled the Wounded Warrior Bill of Rights being introduced for inclusion in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It continues to find support in the House of Representatives but stalls out in the Senate. Sadly, our legislative fix to the problem was not included in the final version of the NDAA, but we will try again next year. 0 20814 122438 William J Ostan President 40 112500 0 0 Jerry Hardy Chairman 0 0 0 0 Michele Wilson Secretary 2 0 0 0 Timmerle Kelly Treasurer 1.00 0 0 0 X 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jennifer Ostan 851 Hwy 378 Suite 100 PMB 75 Lexington SC 29072 7196486835 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 William J Ostan President 40 112500 0 0 1 NONE 1 X 109471 156963 132337 126411 118212 643394 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 109471 156963 132337 126411 118212 643394 0 643394 20 34 118 110 145 427 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 643821 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 20121 0 0 20121 0 Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1 Arc of Justice's staff member contacted 1 member of the US House of Representatives and 1 member of the US Senate to discuss bipartisan legislation, Wounded Warrior's Bill of Rights, introduced for inclusion in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
