Our Story

The call to launch.

“READY 3” is the final radio call between a CH-46E crew chief and pilot, the signal that the aircraft is ready to start and commence the mission. Serving in Iraq, we yelled “READY 3” while running to the aircraft before flying into harm’s way to bring our wounded and fallen brothers and sisters back to safety.

Today, “READY 3” represents our urgency to engage our clients’ challenges, delivering innovative, affordable solutions. Ready 3 is dedicated to all who have sacrificed in defense of our nation.

Founder Maurice Compton graduated from the inaugural cohort of the University of Oklahoma’s Executive MBA in Aerospace & Defense program in 2019 and founded Ready 3 to bring quality and reliability to Oklahoma’s growing aerospace and defense sector. Ready 3 has since grown to more than 50 employees and continues to expand. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, we make a point to hire the veterans who served our country.
