Operation Home Base
We've got your back.
One of The Red Cross’s functions is passing messages to and from
military personnel. However, they are limited to the passive role of
sharing information. What if there was an organization that could
do more? Facing their own demons, veterans and civilians come
together to actively make a difference with legal, medical and
logistics help for military personnel, veterans and their
dependents? Their motto is “we've got your back.”. What if in
their dedication to help, the founders of Operation Home Base
stumbled upon an international cover up, which puts a target on
their own backs? Do they shrink away in fear or do they damn the
torpedoes and face the challenge with a Gung-Ho mentality?
A medic in Nam, Martin Flying Crow returned home only to find the
war followed him. By helping others, he was able to quiet the
ghosts in his head. He gained national attention and the friendship
of retired Lieutenant Colonel Elaine Reynolds after he talked a
Marine out of committing suicide. Together they pulled enough
resources together to achieve a non-profit status and were able
to move Operation Home Base from Martin's garage into a small
office building.
The organization once again gained national attention when they
used their connections both in and out of the military to
investigate the disappearance of PFC Hank Bogley and his squad.
When they start to unravel the lies and misinformation, they
suddenly become the targets of a national smear campaign.
Although their personal and professional motives are brought into
question, the board refuses to back down.
Unable to deter them, their lead detractor, Valhalla does an about
face and offers to support them with endless financial, political,
and logistic support. There is one catch. Operation Home Base
must accept their representative as the new head of their
organization. Valhalla chooses a man who knows Martin's secrets.
He knows because the same ghosts haunt him. Is he the
distraction to keep Martin busy, while they use the money,
influence and access to classified information to destroy Operation
Home Base from the inside out?
Operation Home Base combines MASH and The Waltons with NCIS
to create a family of man drama about forgiveness and second
chances. From the senseless murder of a therapy dog to two
teens stealing a tank to a Native American's family having to fight
for their loved one's last wishes to be honored, Operation Home
Base intertwines real life situations with a fictional international
conspiracy. From World War II to the current conflict, the stories
will show military personnel and veterans as real people, not just
disposable parts of the war machine. Its tagline is helping others
heals our own wounds.

Endorsements
Veteran, military activist and talk show host, Richard Bauer actively endorses the new military
series, Operation Home Base.
Bauer served in the United States Air Force Command from 1988-2010. As a Inventory Management
Specialist, he coordinated supply for the Air National Guard at Jefferson Barracks. He insured the
mobility assets were available for deployment and all personnel were properly fitted and ready in
the event of war. June 2000 – March 2003, Bauer performed military funeral honors for deceased
active duty, retired and veteran personnel at Scott Air Force Base-Belleville IL. As Command and
Control-flight Follower from April 2003-January 2006, he was the command agent responsible for
the accurate, real-time global command control of all AMC directed tanker and airlift Missions in
support of national interests worldwide. From May 1999-June 2010, he worked in the defense and
space industry as the Missouri State employee, providing funeral honors for deceased veterans and
retirees for the entire eastern part of Missouri. Currently, he is the host of Tribute to the Troops on
the Virtual Entertainment Radio Network. It is a program that supports current members of the
military as well as veterans. The program will educate and explore questions or problems relating
to military personnel. By coalescing governmental, civilian and veteran’s organizations, Tribute to
the Troops’ goal is to insure that not one soldier/airman/or sailor is left behind..
Of Operation Home Base, Bauer said:
“WOW...this is awesome, breath taking, and splendid; words cannot express my gratitude or
thankfulness. I think you got a real winner. God Bless you for finally opening the family life of the
military spouse to the general public.”

Bauer’s associate said:
'I think the script is dealing in uncharted waters. This will be like nothing ever produced! What a
brilliant idea to expose to the general audience real life situations that our fellow soldiers have to
deal with returning home. Bravo!'
Two different members of the military and both Senior NCO's looked at the script like the military
(Department of Defense--Washington) would look at it and we both agreed you got a hit.
************
Among the often unnoticed casualties of war are the returning veterans and their families. Many of
them return to communities that are ill-equipped to deal with post traumatic stress, the strain of long
separation, or failure to retain jobs. Throughout the country, small private groups have sprung up
to deal with this and the myriad of other problems that those who have sacrificed for our country
have to face. The problem is, too many Americans are not aware of the problems or of what is being
done about them.
Along comes writer Theresa Chaze and Operation Home Base. A drama written for TV in the mold
of NCIS, Military Wives, and other shows about the military, OHB takes us down into the weeds on
the issues. I have had the opportunity to read Ms. Chaze’s scripts from the rough draft through
polishing phase, and as a Vietnam veteran and one who is intensely interested in how we take care
of our veterans and their families, I find them compelling, entertaining, and must-watch for anyone
who wants to know the facts.
The scripts are tightly written and entertaining; at the same time, Ms. Chaze doesn’t sacrifice
accuracy to strive for drama. She realizes that the situations veterans face; stress, illness,
alienation, are dramatic enough in themselves without having to invent anything. When I first read
an OHB script I was sure Ms. Chaze was a veteran herself. You can imagine my surprise when I
found out that she got her knowledge the old fashioned way – she did research, she talked to
people, and most of all, she tapped into her own humanity. The result is a drama that is ripped right
off the street, and should be required viewing by every American.
