A MILVETCOM platoon is comprised of up to twenty military Veterans who all live in the same zipcode.
1) Download the app and create an account (you have to be a Veteran to create an account and yeah, we check).
2) When you create an account, you’ll automatically be placed in an open platoon based on your zipcode. If all platoons in your zipcode are full, a new one will be created and you’ll start that one.
3) If you want to build your own platoon, just select that option at the bottom of your platoon page.
4) Now its time to build. If you meet a Vet you can stand, invite them to download the app. Once they’ve downloaded it - and if they live in the same zipcode as you - you can invite them to join your platoon (all platoon mates must live in the same zipcode). Platoon building is where the power of MILVETCOM starts to come to life.
Your platoon - and community networking specifically - is the next level evolution in the world of social media. While a single social media profile can share a story, a MILVETCOM platoon can launch a movement.
Think of it like this; if the MILVETCOM mobile app was a vehicle, then your platoon would be the engine that drives it. It bridges the gap between wanting something and making it happen. By localizing your Veteran network into a tight-knit unit, you transform passive connections into a synchronized force capable of achieving any objective. This isn’t about collecting “friends”; its about building a team and turning ideas into action.
