Our Las Vegas chapter currently has over 1,500 registered members, part of a national organization with over 250,000 members (which we refer to as Eagles).

    Too many veterans get out and get on the couch, or the barstool, or otherwise self-isolate. To keep our members moving and engaged we run, ruck, hike, bike, fish, camp, kayak, and perform community service projects. Membership is free and their are no annual dues.

    Team RWB is one of the fastest-growing veterans' organizations in the country. The organization's goal is to enrich the lives of American military veterans by connecting them to their communities through physical, social, and volunteer activities. Learn more at www.TeamRWB.org.
