Troops in Contact
Building the first veteran-led natural disaster response team: trained, certified, properly equipped, and ready to support communities after storms, floods, hurricanes, and other disasters.
Mission
A fresh 501(c)(3) building the first response capability.
Troops in Contact is starting with the practical work in front of us: train the team, certify the core skills, fund the equipment, build local partnerships, and become useful after natural disasters.
Train
Turn military experience into civilian natural disaster response skills through structured training, certifications, and partner-led readiness standards.
Stage
Build the first response team that can prepare equipment, coordinate movement, and plug into local needs when natural disasters hit.
Respond
Focus veteran capability on real-world missions like first aid support, route clearing, vehicle recovery, flood response, and search support.
Serve
Give veterans a renewed mission by putting hard-earned skills to work for communities after natural disasters.
Who we serve
Purpose, training, and disciplined action.
This is not a social club. The work is to prepare a veteran volunteer team for real natural disaster response roles through training, standards, and mission-focused service.
Veterans ready to serve
For veterans who still want a mission, a team, and a reason to put their training and judgment to work when communities need help.
Local disaster response
For communities that need trained, funded, locally grounded volunteers who can respond after storms, floods, and other disasters.
Supporters and partners
For donors, instructors, agencies, and local partners who can help standardize training, fund equipment, and connect the team to real response needs.
Why it matters
Military skills should not go dormant when natural disasters hit home.
Veterans bring calm under pressure, practical judgment, equipment discipline, and a bias toward service. Troops in Contact is being shaped to convert that experience into one credible response team trained for natural disaster work: first aid support, communications, vehicle recovery, flood response, search support, and team coordination.
Trust indicators
Serious work requires serious standards.
Troops in Contact aims to grow this mission through credible training, partner coordination, and honest public claims about what the organization is prepared to do.
