About Us
ABOUT OPERATION OUTPOST
Operation Outpost was created by two people who, while deployed to Afghanistan, recognized a need for forward deployed individuals to be able to buy, sell, trade, and receive donated items that increased their standard of living in remote areas. The purpose of this site is to provide these individuals the opportunity to contact each other in an effort to obtain items that they require to make it day to day.
Additionally, Operation Outpost is proud to offer the “Donation” option to our members. We have heard time and time again of people back home that want to donate various items but have no idea of what to send, who to send it to, or where to send it. The donations option will allow the member to list items they wish someone would donate to them personally or to their unit. Individuals from around the world can view this page and chose what donation they would like to send. Patriots can also list items they would like to donate, this way forward deployed members can view all donations listed, and if interested, can contact the donor and provide the necessary information for the donation to be shipped.

Brent M. Piatti – Vice-President
Brent M. Piatti, Vice-President of Operation Outpost, is a 10 year Veteran with his Active Duty service as a Paratrooper in the Army’s best division in the world, the 82nd Airborne Division!

Brent has moved on to various roles in civilian life, but kept the Military close to his heart, and because of that he chose to move into his most recent role as a Private Military Contractor and a year plus deployment to Afghanistan. It was while living in Afghanistan where his colleague (David D. Jason) and he developed the idea of Operation Outpost. It is their belief that deployed personnel need ways to improve their quality of life and Operation Outpost gives all of us who are deployed that ability. This is where the Operation Outpost motto of “Improving Quality of Life for Those on the Front Lines” came from.
