IGR’s reported 2025 results. Surveyed land is assessed for threats; it is not a measure of land cleared.

Why we started IGR

In June 2023, Michael “Monty” Montoya lost his foot to a landmine while working in Ukraine. Plans for Invictus Global Response were already underway.

Later that year, Monty, Laura Montoya, and Stuart Miller founded IGR to protect communities affected by conflict and strengthen local capacity to address explosive threats.
