Troops in Contact

Troops in Contact built the first veteran-led natural disaster response team: trained, certified, properly equipped, and prepared to support communities after storms, floods, hurricanes, and other real-world disasters.

Mission

A 501(c)(3) built for real-world disaster response.

Troops in Contact is established around practical readiness: train the team, certify core skills, maintain equipment, strengthen local partnerships, and serve communities after natural disasters.

Train

Turn military experience into civilian natural disaster response skills through structured training, certifications, and partner-led readiness standards.

Stage

Maintain a 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. Troops in Contact is prepared for real-world disaster response through trained veteran volunteers, clear 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 built to convert that experience into one credible response team prepared for real-world disaster response: first aid support, communications, vehicle recovery, flood response, search support, and team coordination.
