Running and maintaining a camp in a war zone is not an easy task, but Austability’s highly trained team is always ready for such situations. Austability constructed a fully functional camp in a war zone in Western Ukraine in the late spring of 2022. Despite a short deadline to complete and open the camp during the summer, Austability reacted promptly and called upon its Client Emergency Response Team (CERT) to make it possible. Austability mobilized this project using both its Resource Acquisition and Sustainment Directorate and its Advisory and Knowledge Transfer Directorate, integrating both Directorates, which was the key to the mission’s success in an active conflict zone. The CERT team worked with Ukrainian officials to design, construct, and operate a dedicated aid base, following Austability’s client instruction (a US Based not for profit and their donors).

Austability’s differentiators are its ability to be first on the ground, first to respond, and deliver critical support when other options are not available. This was demonstrated by Austability’s CERT which sprang into action over the 2022 Christmas and New Year period to meet the expeditionary and rapid mobilization timelines of our client. Despite facing the challenge of delivering more than 250 tons of materials and equipment within a timeframe of 72 hours, our team was able to achieve this feat with great efficiency.

Ethics, transparency and human rights principles are integral parts of Austability’s daily business processes through the Austability Integrated Management System. The story of Austability’s successful launch of the Ukrainian Children Aid Base in Lviv is a testament to its passion and drive for accountability, ethical conduct, and respect for human rights. the goal of the Aid base was to minimize the fear and uncertainty that war brings to children and provide a child-friendly environment that promotes safety and happiness. The camp was designed to provide entertainment and fun activities for the children, and the Austability team worked with the local community to create events that would promote learning and play.
