Combining the adventurous spirit of hit movies like Oceans 11 and The A Team with the unparalleled competence and can-do attitude of the United States military, “OPS-USA” deploys an interdisciplinary team of veterans — each a “Top Gun” expert in a different domain — to take on real challenges here at home, tell the stories of returning vets, and help rebuild America, one mission at a time.
This is a new kind of reality TV series that takes a team of Veterans and sends them on missions across the nation to solve problems using their skills, supported by resources provided by nonprofit organizations, corporate sponsors, government programs and a virtual army of viewers. The Veterans will be like the “A Team” as they solve problems like gridlock, global warming, natural disasters and other problems that plague the country.
