Return To Home Port® And RTHP™ Mean?
‘Return To Home Port' or 'RTHP' the date when a Naval unit is scheduled to come back to the main base - or home port - after an extended period of operations. While RTHP is a Naval term, all military-connected people understand the concept that the individual service member never operates alone and that some day all service members will leave the service and ‘return to home port’. The RTHP concept translates well to civilian organizations especially when a military member leaves the service - there is a level of collective professional effort to achieve success as an organization, with the fundamental building blocks of individual effort and development at the core of this collective success. There are defense programs and processes to make the transition back to the civilian sector a successful one – we are experts about them.

What Does Our Logo Mean?
Our logo encapsulates who we are as a company. The hand is offering or receiving our output - whether strategies, plans, concepts or prototypes - all of these benefit people. The two squares forming the 'H' are building blocks, indicative of the time, planning and process to build in stages. The two blocks highlight that we believe in 2-partner integrity, i.e., each partner has to contribute to the building blocks. They are aligned perfectly. As this applies to companies, the very best ones always look out for their employees. As this applied to employees, the very best ones put forth their maximum effort on behalf of the team. The blocks in the 'H' also are reminiscent of the nautical 'Papa' flag, which is an internationally recognized symbol of 'preparing to sail'. Nautical flags are a method of communication. Communication is a key component of organizational success, which is why we emphasize 3-way positive communication between the partners.
