’Rapid response’ project designed to supply units on the front line with urgently needed items.

Why is it important?

Since spring 2014 The People’s Project together with the people of Ukraine has provided assistance to soldiers, true patriots who stand defending the country’s peace from the aggression of its neighbor and occupier. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, volunteer battalions, individual brigades and specialist teams – they are all heroes, and to meet their needs we create projects of targeted assistance (Help to 72nd Mechanized Brigade, Artillery. Recovering after Debaltseve, Help to Kulchytskiy Battalion and others).

For a long time The People’s Project team has received requests from different brigades, whose needs are not covered within the scope of separate projects. We receive requests to help a specific unit of snipers, from artillery, reconnaissance units, and border guards. Soldiers send letters requesting devices they depend on for life at the front. Typically, these are immediate needs, but fundraising, purchase and delivery of equipment to the unit that made the request takes a certain period of time. In our work, we sometimes encounter situations when by the time of receipt of ordered items to our warehouse, the unit already does not need the items (They’ve been received from other sources), or delivery to the intended military position is impossible (the unit is rotation, has changed deployment, lost contact etc). What if we, for objective reasons, are unable to send a thermal imaging camera for example to the intended recipient, but know their is another brigade that needs it right now?

Where does the money go?

The list of equipment in the project was generated based on requests already received from units within the ATO zone. In future, the list will be supplemented upon receipt of additional requests from other units. Any unit that performs combat missions and guarantees to follow-through with completing the documentation allowing us to monitor where items go for the benefit of our donors can submit an application for the project.
For maximum efficiency, The People’s Project has launched a new system for processing applications. This is in order for equipment not to be delayed in the warehouse at a time when it could save the lives of ATO soldiers. We have launched the Rapid Response project with the sole purpose of quickly providing items needed to those in need of them right now.
If 48 hours after receiving orders from military positions, we find at the destination there are objective reasons for the delivery not being needed, we will put it up for free "auction" for other units. The main criteria which will speed up requests is expediency in providing unit positions and completing the documentation of delivery.

The transfer of equipment to military units under the project will follow clear guidelines. So, after receiving items, we:
1. Telephone the unit that made the order.
2. If this device is no longer needed, or we are unable to make contact within 48 hours, we will announce the equipment is up for grabs on the People’s Project Ukrainian language Facebook page for other units to request it if necessary.
3. Upon receiving a request from another unit…
4. We check the information and ascertain whether the the ordered device is required by the unit that requested it.
5. Project Volunteers prepare delivery documents for the gear and send it to the unit.
6. Promptly notify the public of any change of destination and its causes.
7. In the case of repeat communication from a unit, we again begin to collect funds for the necessary equipment.
Requests for clothing and food are not accepted. Help for the provision of medicine and drugs is carried out under the project People’s Treatment 2.
