Mission-Driven Training. Real-World Readiness.

At Orion Contingency Group, we specialize in mission-ready training and certification for contingency response professionals. Founded by veteran operator Jerome Williams, our programs blend real-world field experience with military-aligned doctrine—without the restrictions of government-controlled content.

Whether you're preparing for your first deployment or leading a joint, interagency operation, our tiered certifications are designed to meet you where you are and build toward global readiness.

We train for action—not just theory.

We don’t just teach doctrine.
We train mission execution.

Core Principles:

Scenario-Based Instruction: Practical simulations rooted in real operational needs.

Credentialed & Scalable: Tiered certification paths with CEU and international recognition in development.

Civil-Military Integration: Designed for interoperability across government, NGO, and private-sector teams.

Global Readiness: In alignment with U.S. Air Force Contingency Doctrine and tailored for Emergency Managment and private contingency partners.
