STMP is an IRS 501c3 non-profit charity founded by Vietnam veterans in 1986. Many of us were U.S. Army Special Forces (USSF) soldiers ("Green Berets") who lived with and led the Montagnard hill tribes against the communists during the Vietnam War. Other members fought with Cambodian, Cham, Vietnamese, Chinese Nung, and/or the Hmong hill tribe of the "Secret Army" in Laos.

We also have vet members who served in conventional US units during the Vietnam and other wars, and many non-vets who have come to admire the Christian ideals and unparalleled work ethic of the 3,000 US Montagnard refugees.

Although the STMP was founded to provide assistance to Montagnard émigré, we can also assist non Montagnard refugees from Indochina of a U.S. Special Operations affinity.

Additionally, our role has expanded to include improving the chances of survival for their vanishing culture in Vietnam. Their distinct ethnogeny as the aborigines of southeast Indochina dating to 200 BC, is nearly dead. Following the North Vietnamese victory in 1975, the communists instituted Cultural Leveling (long term ethnic cleansing) to eradicate all ethnic minority cultures.

STMP assistance may take the form of advocacy with the U.S. and foreign governments and providing refugee resettlement and educational funds, goods, and services.
