U.S. National Response Forces Foundation (USNRFF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to strengthening America’s maritime industry and transforming how the Nation responds to crises. We will do this by building a dynamic 'smart power' tool for American humanitarian power projection …

America’s Crisis Response Fleet (CRF)

The CRF is envisioned to be a fleet of large merchant cargo ships purposefully designed, built, and loaded for responding to crises, regardless of the nature or cause.

CRF ships will not be sitting around empty, idle, and hidden from the public. They will be *active* …
in and out of ports up and down the coasts, engaged in public relations, recruiting, education, training, exercises, and research … and always ready to move toward those in need.

While reclaiming the national attention, respect and appreciation for America’s Merchant Marine and maritime industry, the CRF will save lives, prevent suffering, and empower communities to rebuild … better, stronger, faster.
