“The global initiative aims to bring persons with disabilities and former Special Forces veterans in action- to drive inner transformation and induce powerful global action for inclusion” says Major.

It aims to mainstream the mindset that Special Forces and people with disabilities share i.e. to -Survive, Stabilize and Thrive in hostile environments.

Operation Blue Freedom, under the ambit of C.L.A.W aims to shatter the inaccurate perception of pity, charity and inability associated with “disability” worldwide and recreate it to one of dignity, ability, and freedom on the ground by creating the world’s first *Triple Elemental World Records* in Land, Air and Water.
