Team Rubicon's co-founder tells West Michigan about the importance of veteran volunteers | MLive.com: "I thought I should be there...I can help,” said Wood. When his offer to volunteer was rejected, he organized his friends and raised money to fly into the Dominican Republic, and then cross into Haiti. The group set up medical triage clinics to treat the critically wounded. They used counterinsurgency tactics to deliver humanitarian aid.

The trip led to the creation of an organization they called Team Rubicon after the river Julius Caesar led his legion across, signaling he was “irrevocably committed to his task” of taking Rome."
