Background
Operation IMPACT
was launched within Northrop
Grumman’s Mission Systems
sector in May 2005. The program
provides transition support
to service members severely
injured in the Global War on
Terrorism (GWOT) and helps
them identify career opportunities
within the corporation. If
an injured service member is
no longer able to work, the
program offers career support
to a member of the individual’s
immediate family who will act
as the primary wage earner.
Program Eligibility
To be eligible for the program, candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Severely injured during combat operations in the GWOT on or after September 11, 2001.
- Disability rating of 30% or greater from the Veterans Administration.
- One or more
special category designation
(SPECAT) casualty codes for
the injury sustained — contact
Operation IMPACT, Debbie
Ortega, Program Administrator,
at 1-800-395-2361 ext. 8322
or e-mail operationimpact@ngc.com for
more details.
- Special
Note: The program
will accept one primary
family wage earner (spouse,
parent, other) in cases
where the service member
has died or is too severely
injured to serve as the
primary wage earner for
his or her immediate family.
