OFCP named individuals: organizers Bill Brown (PLG Partner) + Robert Sweetman (62Romeo); sitting elected officials Sen. Tuberville (R-AL) + Rep. Keith Self (R-TX); SEAL veterans Kaj Larsen, Mitch Aguiar, Ian Schinelli, Jeff Gum; expected participant Lt Gen (Ret) Michael Flynn; promoter Alec Lace; Hegseth's first commander Jurandir 'J' Araujo; staff sergeant Angelo Martinez. No public record of OFCP funding/sponsor beyond 62Romeo Meet & Greet sponsorship.

OFCP funder NOT publicly disclosed — structural opacity by design across PLG, 62Romeo (508c1a), and A3P/Veteran Action 501(c)(4)

Operation Full Court Press (Capitol Hill rally, Jan 14 2025, ~200-500 SEALs and veterans) has NO publicly disclosed funder for travel and lodging despite extensive media coverage. Reasoning: (1) Cabinet confirmation advocacy is OUTSIDE FEC IE scope — IEs require an election. (2) Pipe Hitter Foundation 2024 outbound grant volume ($45,145) is too small to fund a 200-500 person DC mobilization (estimated $60-250K cost). (3) Bill Brown is a partner at Parlatore Law Group (Hegseth's defense counsel) — PLG cost-absorption is structurally most plausible for organizational logistics. (4) 62Romeo is registered 508(c)(1)(a) and explicitly named 'helping to sponsor the event' — 508(c)(1)(a) requires no donor disclosure, ideal pass-through. (5) A3P/Veteran Action ran the parallel media-and-grassroots channel as 501(c)(4)s with non-disclosed donors. Three vehicles converged: PLG attorney-time absorption, 62Romeo 508(c)(1)(a) sponsorship cash, A3P/Veteran Action 501(c)(4) media operation. The named individual organizers (Brown, Sweetman) and amplifiers (Higbie at Newsmax, O'Neill in media — both Pipe Hitter Foundation directors) sit at the intersection of all three. OFCP funding is structurally OPAQUE BY DESIGN — that is the FINDING, not an information gap.

No public reporting identifies OFCP travel/lodging funder or formal sponsor entity beyond 62Romeo's Meet-and-Greet sponsorship

WebFetches of the available Fox News, drrichswier, and American Military News coverage did not name any travel-or-lodging funder. 62Romeo (Sweetman) is identified as Meet-and-Greet sponsor only. 62Romeo has no 990 record yet found in 990-bulk index. Pipe Hitter Foundation (Eddie Gallagher) appears in 990 records but not connected by reporting to OFCP.

OFCP Hegseth confirmation rally (Jan 14 2025) sponsor identified as 62Romeo per Fox News; 62Romeo and Sleep Genius are brands under 'Creed of Peaceful Warriors' Non-Profit, a 508(c)(1)(a) faith-based exempt org with NO public donor disclosure

Fox News 2025-01-13 article quotes Bill Brown and Rob Sweetman as organizers, names 62Romeo as sponsor. Sleep Genius own website (sleepgeni.us) confirms: 'Sleep Genius and 62Romeo as brands under the Creed of Peaceful Warriors Non-Profit.' Per LinkedIn 62Romeo description: '508(c)1(a) Faith Based Organization that raises money for Veterans and First-Responders.' 508(c)(1)(a) entities are NOT required to file Form 990, register with IRS Tax-Exempt Organization Search, or disclose donors — IRS rules treat them as automatically exempt 'free churches.' This means OFCP funding is structurally opaque by design. Additionally: Cabinet confirmation IS NOT a federal election under 52 USC 30101, so FEC Independent Expenditure (IE) reporting does NOT apply. There is no public-record path through which OFCP funder can be identified absent voluntary disclosure or subpoena. Article also names 12 participants: Bill Brown, Rob Sweetman, Sen. Tuberville, Rep. Self, Mike Flynn, Kaj Larsen, Mitch Aguiar, Ian Schinelli, Adam Gum, Marcus Lace, Jurandir Araujo, Angelo Martinez. The Warfighters Chamber of Commerce (warfighterschamber.org) hosts the documentary; co-founder Paul Buijs (Marine vet, ex-Federal Air Marshal); also self-claims 501c3 status but EIN not found in 990 bulk database (likely sub-threshold or recent). OFCP funder identification: INCONCLUSIVE through public records by structural design.
