Strategic Edge

There is no greater love than that of a man who would sacrifice his life that others may live. A fellow medic Pete Reed was killed in Ukraine 2 days ago while evacuating civilians and saving lives. I met him in 2017 during the battle to liberate Mosul from ISIS. May his light shine bright forever and may his legacy live on.

On February 2, 2023, GRM founder Pete Reed was killed in Bakhmut, Ukraine. Pete was the bedrock of GRM, serving as Board President for 4 years. In January, Pete stepped away from GRM to work with Global Outreach Doctors on their Ukraine mission and was killed while rendering aid.

This is a stark reminder of the perils rescue and aid workers face in conflict zones as they serve citizens caught in the crossfire. Pete was just 33 years old, but lived a life in service of others, first as a decorated US Marine and then in humanitarian aid. GRM will strive to honor his legacy and the selfless service he practiced.

We fully support Pete’s family, friends, and colleagues during this devastating time. More information on how to support will be shared at a later time.

It was a real pleasure for our team to train humanitarian staff from PAX in Iraq. Their dedication to their work inspires us to help ensure the safety of humanitarians in the field.

Integrity is crucial into being a security officer, especially for NGOs. People are counting on you to protect them and make decisions that serve their safety and security needs. Your training and experience help you do the right thing, and sometimes the hard thing, to ensure safety and build trust.
