Metaphorically Speaking...
Combat Ready is a well-known term used to describe the condition of a fully-trained, prepared, and equipped warfighter. Metaphorically, to be “Combat Ready” signifies a high level of readiness and capability to achieve set goals. This concept forms the basis of our brand name and identity.
Humble Beginnings:
Combat Ready LLC (CRUSA) was established in 2006 by Colin Burgos, a former Infantryman of 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines. Recognizing the need for readily available modernized tactical equipment for Marines and Sailors on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, he opened the first tactical gear retail store in San Clemente, CA, near the north gate of MCB Camp Pendleton – Home of the 1st Marine Division.
Combat Ready has played an active role in the Marine Corps Community, donating tactical gear to deploying Unit and sponsoring honor graduates of Scout Sniper School, Infantry Squad Leader Course, and many more.
Awards and Accolades
In 2011, Combat Ready LLC was enrolled in the SBA 8(a) Small Business Development Program and initiated a campaign to establish itself as a reputable US Defense Contractor, specializing in Individual Tactical Equipment. Consequently, CRUSA secured multi-year defense contracts with the DOD Pentagon Force Protection Agency, US Army CID, TSA Federal Air Marshals, National Park Service, and the Department of Energy, among many others.
These accomplishments resulted in our recognition in the White House Small Business Report as an emerging Veteran-Owned Small Disadvantaged Business, and the SBA 8(a) Small Business Graduate of the Year. This program has afforded us the opportunity to gain substantial experience in conducting business with various branches of the US Military, supplying a diverse array of tactical gear items, and understanding the intricacies of government procurement.
