First Nonprofit in Coastal Georgia

FAA Part 107 UAS Drone Pilot Workforce Development Training — First Nonprofit in Coastal Georgia

Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom, Inc. (CB2TB) is the first nonprofit organization in Coastal Georgia — and believed to be the first in the state of Georgia — to deliver FAA Part 107 UAS Drone Pilot Workforce Development Training as a structured, cohort-based program for veterans and military spouses.

What is the WINGS Initiative?

WINGS — Women Integrated into Next-Generation Systems — is Combat Boots 2 The Boardroom’s FAA Part 107 UAS (drone) pilot workforce development program. It is the first nonprofit-delivered, structured drone-pilot training pathway in Coastal Georgia, built specifically to move veterans and military spouses into the fast-growing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) workforce.

Participants earn nationally recognized FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certification through a cohort-based curriculum that combines FAA knowledge-test preparation, hands-on flight instruction, and career placement support — all delivered at no cost to accepted participants.

FAA Part 107 Certification for Veterans and Military Spouses

The FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate is the federal credential required to operate small commercial drones in the United States. It opens doors to careers in aerial mapping and surveying, public safety, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, real estate, logistics, and defense.

WINGS prepares each cohort member to pass the FAA Part 107 Aeronautical Knowledge Test and to launch a career in unmanned aircraft systems. The program serves veterans and military spouses across 10 counties of Coastal Georgia, honoring the discipline and mission-focus of military families while equipping them with a portable, high-demand technical credential.

P.R.O.S.P.E.R. Veteran Edition — How WINGS Was Born

P.R.O.S.P.E.R. launched Coastal Georgia’s first-ever nonprofit FAA Part 107 drone certification cohort for veterans in March 2026. WINGS is P.R.O.S.P.E.R. 2.0 — expanding that same proven pathway to military spouses beginning August 2026.

Where P.R.O.S.P.E.R. proved that a community nonprofit could stand up a rigorous, FAA-aligned drone workforce program for those who served, WINGS carries that mission forward — opening the cockpit to the spouses who serve alongside them.

Apply for the August 2026 Cohort

The next WINGS cohort begins August 2026. Seats are limited and awarded to accepted veterans and military spouses at no cost. Applications are open now.

Why Coastal Georgia for UAS Workforce Training

Coastal Georgia is home to one of the largest military communities in the Southeast, anchored by Fort Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield, and Kings Bay. Thousands of transitioning service members and military spouses live across the region’s 10 counties — a workforce rich in discipline, security clearances, and mission experience.

By delivering FAA Part 107 UAS workforce development locally, CB2TB keeps that talent in Coastal Georgia and connects it to the region’s growing demand for certified drone pilots in logistics, public safety, agriculture, and defense. As the first nonprofit in the region to offer this pathway, CB2TB is building a model for veteran and military-spouse workforce development statewide.
