Our Higher Purpose
The mission of CRUX was inspired by the words on the grave of an unknown soldier buried at the Allied Cemetery at Omaha Beach.
The last thing that this soldier would be known for was the statement on his grave:
​
"HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY A COMRADE IN ARMS KNOWN BUT TO GOD"
​
​
At CRUX, we have sought to shape our business around questions inspired by the grave of that unknown soldier:
​
"What would it take for a defense business to
be known as a 'Comrade in Arms'
instead of a vendor trying to sell stuff?"
​
"How would it change our decisions
if we always put the warfighters mission first and we were content to be 'Known but to God?"
​
We welcome the opportunity to serve with you and advance your innovation priorities and ensure that your innovations are sustained and procurable.
