We Answer the Call

Trained as protectors of life and liberty, Task Force Antal (TFA) is a team of world-class volunteers and elite special operations veterans. We fearlessly enter some of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world to provide safe evacuation support, humanitarian aid, and complex crisis management solutions while consistently upholding our values of integrity, loyalty, duty, unwavering courage, and responsibility.

A registered nonprofit in the U.S. (501c3), Hungary, and Ukraine, TFA is headquartered in New York City while maintaining offices in Hungary, Poland and Ukraine to best serve the people who need us most.

At Task Force Antal, we empower elite special operations veterans to continue their dedicated work through their next phase of life. Although they are leaving direct-action combat behind when they retire, being a part of our team gives these veterans the opportunity to leverage their specialist skills and experience while continuing to fulfil their life´s mission and values. Their integrity and courage enable us to provide life-saving services and support to those who need it most in conflict zones where others cannot or dare not go.

To date, Task Force Antal has been defined by our tacit professional ethos and mission-focused mentality. It is imperative that our story be shared to enable us to continue our essential work in Afghanistan and Ukraine.

Our History in Service

Founded by Mark Antal and Christine Quinn Antal, Task Force Antal was originally created with the singular goal to evacuate American citizens and Afghan Americans from the challenging Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021. This marked the end of a two-decade war that had a devastating impact on citizens, veterans, and their families. 

In August 2021, the Antals received a chilling call from an Army friend previously stationed in Afghanistan desperate to help his Afghan interpreter, a man who had saved his life on multiple occasions. Because of the interpreter´s service to U.S. forces, he was in imminent danger of Taliban retaliation. The desperate scene in the roadblocked streets, and with the Kabul airport surrounded by Taliban, it was impossible for him to reach an evacuation flight. The interpreter´s fate was secured only by the immediate response of the Antals. He would be one of the thousands they helped save. 

Countless more desperate calls poured in, and Mark and Christine acted without hesitation. Leveraging their depth of knowledge and vast network, they answered the call and were able to secure safe passage for the interpreter and hundreds like him. Over the course of three days, the Antals and a team of colleagues and friends facilitated the safe escape of hundreds of U.S. citizens, their family members, and countless partner colleagues from the country and the ruinous hands of the Taliban.  

Task Force Antal quickly grew into a singularly effective specialist operation with a formidable reputation for rescuing those in need. 

Today, made up of Tier One Operators, medics, intelligence analysts, handlers, legal advisors, national security professionals, and logistical staff across the globe, we specialize in providing safe evacuation support, humanitarian aid, and complex crisis management solutions for U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, allies, and their families in the most conflict-ridden parts of the world where others cannot or dare not go. 

To date, Task Force Antal has directly helped more than 2000 people lawfully and safely evacuate Afghanistan. We currently support over 1800 people on the ground in Afghanistan, including 1300 immediate family members of active U.S. citizen soldiers awaiting reunification and resettlement in the U.S. Private contributions from our donors help us pay for the transportation, food, medicine, housing, sanitation needs, and processing fees while we also provide advocacy and case management for their State Department processing.  

Our Mission in Ukraine

With a notable global reputation, Task Force Antal was once again called upon for help at the dawn of the illegal and lethal invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces in 2022. U.S citizens, their family members, innocent Ukrainians, and third-country citizens were suffering and in desperate need of help to escape a war zone that continues to worsen by the day.  

As is a cornerstone of our ethos, we never leave a fallen brother or sister behind. When we are called up for help, we answer that call without hesitation. It is who we are.  

What started as a life-threatening mission to evacuate American citizens from Eastern Ukraine as Russian troops invaded has evolved into a complex humanitarian relief program that requires ongoing donations for support in: 

The devastating conflict in Ukraine is expected to last many months, if not years, and the need for critical humanitarian action grows more urgent by the day. Each and every delivery of supplies and services saves and sustains human life.  

Join Us in Answering the Call

Our ability to come to the rescue of those in greatest need is based solely on independent contributions. We receive no government funding, and our team takes no salary.  

Your one-time or recurring tax-deductible donation enables us to continue fulfilling our mission to support and protect the brave men, women, and children who are living through unimaginable circumstances.
