Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV) and the U.S. Army announced a dynamic web series, Tour Ops: the Tech Behind Rock on the Road, featuring two U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers working onsite with OneRepublic on tour. The series consist of six total episodes, three spotlighting U.S. Army Capt. Andrew Freinberg and three featuring U.S. Army Capt. Moises Abraham Cruz.
These episodes share the story of Freinberg and Cruz, who serve as crew members in an active production setting during a tour. Demonstrating their science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) training acquired through the Army, both men are working along with the tour crew on a variety of tasks. In each episode, Freinberg and Cruz are on site collaborating with OneRepublic's crew members and becoming familiarized with the technical and structural elements of what happens backstage and as part of the concert performance. "Capts. Cruz and Freinberg are great examples of how the Army is constantly evolving to provide unmatched training in a variety of cutting-edge skills," said U.S. Army Marketing & Research Group Active Army Brand Manager LTC. Karl S. Ivey. "The success they have achieved highlights the diversity of experience soldiers gain that is highly sought after in the civilian world."About Live Nation
