Maximus and Endurion Launch MaxHP to Advance Human Performance for the Modern Warfighter
TAMPA, FL. JULY 2026 — In today’s complex defense operational environment, the holistic optimization of human performance across readiness, resilience, recovery, and well-being is essential to supporting operators, their families, and mission success. This integrated approach helps organizations better support their people while strengthening mission effectiveness across the enterprise.
Recognizing that mission success begins with human performance, Maximus and Endurion launched MaxHP, a strategic joint venture purpose-built for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Enterprise. MaxHP delivers integrated support for the enduring pursuit of human performance capabilities, enabling the Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) program across physical, cognitive, and behavioral readiness. '
The joint venture is built around a simple premise: human performance support only works when it’s embedded, present, and trusted. MaxHP combines Maximus’s enterprise-scale infrastructure with Endurion’s SOF-operator heritage to support mission readiness, resilience, and long-term force effectiveness while enhancing the performance and well-being of the individuals who serve.
"Mission success begins with people," said Dennis Arakelian, VP of Defense Business Development at Maximus. "MaxHP was created to support the evolving needs of the USSOCOM Enterprise by bringing together proven expertise and innovative capabilities that strengthen human performance, supports our operators and their families, and ultimately ensures mission readiness."
Endurion, formed through the combination with Quiet Professionals and Spathe Systems, was built by special operations veterans for the special operations community. That operator-founded identity shapes how MaxHP delivers: embedded practitioners who understand culture, tempo, and demands of the SOF environment from firsthand experience, backed by Maximus’s global infrastructure.
"Across special operations, there’s no more unifying motto than ‘Humans are more important than hardware’, and investing in human performance remains one of the most important investments USSOCOM and like-minded organizations can make," said Matt Parrish, SVP of Strategy at Endurion. "MaxHP represents our shared commitment to enable warfighters and their families with embedded world-class professionals, working cross-functionally across all the domains of human performance. Taking care of the providers, and enabling them through cutting-edge technology and best practices, allows them to create the trusted bonds that drive outcomes for the force."
By pairing Endurion’s operational fluency with Maximus’s scale, MAXHP is designed to close the gap with practitioners who are qualified, embedded, and present at the speed of trust.
