Hosted this year by Orlando USA it sees many country’s competing. Not only is it a special competition for those in the armed forces it brings them together and gives many a goal to pick them selves back up following the injury and the horrors of war.
The Invictus games was set up in 2014 in London so Jaguar Land Rover have been there since the beginning. The word “invictus” is Latin and means “unconquered” – so the games symbolise strength in adversity.
Jaguar Land Rover is Presenting Partner of the Invictus Games Orlando 2016, and proud sponsors of the US and UK Teams. Building on its sponsorship and support of the inaugural Invictus Games in London 2014, Jaguar Land Rover has increased their commitment to the Armed Forces and Veteran community as details of the new Jaguar Land Rover CALIBRE Partnership were announced last week. This collaboration will fund the training and hiring of 180 US Service Members this year across North American retailers, and follows the recruitment of over 200 Transitioning Service Members, Veterans, and currently serving members of the National Guard and Reserve in the UK since 2013.
