In the critical hours following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Terranova Defense Solutions Incorporated mobilized its elite Terranova Sabre One Team within just four hours, deploying to the region to provide immediate humanitarian support. Under the leadership of CEO James Castle and UK Terranova Sabre One Commander Terry Temple, the team executed high-risk evacuations across multiple conflict zones. Working alongside local and international partners, Terranova Sabre One successfully extracted over 720 civilians including families, hospital patients, and foreign dignitaries—from besieged urban centers and rural areas under threat. These operations included night-time extractions under active fire, medical airlifts wee restricted by threat by the Russians, and secure convoys for diplomatic personnel was being provided by our Israeli ground units. With a mission success rate exceeding 98%, the Terranova Sabre One Team demonstrated exceptional precision, coordination, and courage under fire.

Terranova Defense worked in close coordination with allied nations including the United Kingdom, Israel, Poland, Hungary, and Belgium to establish the first unified command structure in the region. This unprecedented collaboration brought together ground forces and intelligence organizations under a single operational framework, enhancing situational awareness and mission effectiveness. Reflecting on the mission, James Castle stated, “In moments of global crisis, leadership is measured not by words, but by action. Our Terranova Sabre One Team stood ready, not just as a defense force, but as a lifeline for those in need. We were there to protect, to serve, and to lead with integrity.” The Terranova Sabre One Team’s actions not only saved lives but also demonstrated the power of international cooperation and agile defense leadership in times of crisis, cementing Terranova’s legacy as a trusted global partner in security and humanitarian operations.
