Atlantic Hope

29-31 May 2026 | Cornell University in Ithaca, NY

Atlantic Hope (AH) was designed by Dr. Paul Forage and was the first Field Training Exercise (FTX) produced by the Consortium in the early 2000s. This scenario-driven exercise immerses participants in the fictional country of "Atlantica" from arrival until their departure 68 hours later. Participants are tested physically and mentally as they are introduced to the challenges, dangers, and triumphs of providing humanitarian assistance in a post-conflict environment.
