ABOUT
“In military terms (science), force multiplication or a force multiplier refers to a factor or a combination of factors that gives personnel or weapons (or other hardware) the ability to accomplish greater feats than without it.”
Morale, training, and ethos have long been known to result in disproportionate positive effects on the battlefield; one becomes many.
The use of small numbers of specialists to create larger effective forces is another form of “force multiplying”.
Napoleon is well known for his comment:
“The moral is to the physical as three to one.”
Former United States Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell has said:
“Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.”
Our Mission
“The Way of the Warrior is not suicide, but to Resolve, Reverse, Recover!”
To Prevail – To that end, Vet Force Multiplier is a suicide prevention portal designed to provide “On-Demand” suicide ideation intervention for active, reserve, National Guard, and military veterans combating a life crisis they feel can no longer be endured.
Our Goal is to make a noticeable and measurable reduction in the Veteran suicide rate in Alabama by 2024.
Saving one Veteran’s life is measurable.

Krulak Marine Alliance of Alabama – the Visionary
Created in July 2018 to aid Alabama Marine Veterans in distress, and so named to honor Lt. General Victor “Brute” Krulak and General Charles Krulak, his son, the 31st Commandant of the Marine Corps and former Birmingham Southern College president. (Pictured Above)
We believe “Force Multiplier” has the power to get the message across, life is worth living and fighting for…
Everything starts with one’s self realizing that suicide is not the path of warriors; life is truly worth fighting for; and there are optimistic resources available to overcome suicide ideation.
Vet Force Multiplier is a dedicated Veteran suicide prevention initiative for Alabama Veterans sponsored by the Krulak Marine Alliance of Alabama (aka KMAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Learn more about KMAA at www.KrulakMarines.org.
As a Patriot you can make a Patriotic donation to honor an active-duty loved one in any branch of our Armed Forces, a Veteran-living or deceased, or in name of a branch of military service, a military unit, friend, school, or family, etc.
The “SPARE a Life” initiative was launched in mid-February 2019 to help prevent Alabama Veteran suicides. “SPARE a Life” initiative is a statewide, grassroots approach to establishing “Force Multipliers” to lead the charge to reduce the suicide rate among Alabama Veterans.
