Advanced Tech Rescue[edit]
The company created Advanced Tech Rescue as the explicit reseller of products whose performances have thoroughly been tested in real-life training events.

Short History[edit]
Mission Ready was incorporated in 2009 in Vancouver, Canada. It specialized in the cleaning and decontamination of personal protective equipment and the manufacture of quality defense tactical solutions. The company acquired PTF in 2012, a move that led to its expansion into production, acquisition and contracting expertise, sales, and marketing services to producers selling to the US Federal Government. The firm later acquired its government contracting division, Unifire, which was founded in 1987, to provide comprehensive Federal Government contracting solutions.[4]
