“Building on nearly two decades of partnership with the Department of Defense, Fors Marsh Group (FMG) has announced its acquisition of the Veterans Research Network (VRN) from ScoutComms, LLC. The VRN is a research panel composed of military members from the active and reserve components of all the services as well as Army and Air National Guard, veterans, their dependents, and caregivers. This acquisition expands FMG’s ability to develop deeper insights into this distinct population group and improve decision-making for policymakers inside the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs as well as non-profit and commercial clients.”

The VRN will expand our panel reach, integrating it into FMG’s existing Insights panel of U.S. adults,” said Andy Blenkle, Vice President of FMG’s newest division, Public Service.
“We believe that clients develop better policies and practices serving veteran and military communities when they understand what their audience want, need, and care about most.
