The government does a good job at providing our service members with what they need for their missions. However, what we have learned in serving American forces for over a decade is that there will always be a need for certain mission-critical or lifesaving equipment that the military supply chain will not be able to provide. That is where Troops Direct steps in – by cutting through any bureaucracy, red tape, or budgetary issues that may interfere with getting our heroes the items that they need to accomplish their mission and return home safely.

We believe that our heroes in uniform should always have what they need. Neither they nor their loved ones should ever have to come out of pocket to have the equipment that they need while serving our nation. Our funding comes from the generosity of American citizens, private foundations and companies who believe in empowering our sons and daughters in service.

From Navy SEALs and Green Berets to National Guardsmen, Marines and Soldiers, Troops Direct will proudly accept requests from any American servicemember, anywhere on the globe.

Our team receives multiple requests on a weekly basis from our troops. From there we vet every request thoroughly using our knowledge of U.S. movements and insight from many of our active-duty contacts. Once we verify the validity of a request and the items therein, Troops Direct works with our partners to expedite those items to wherever that unit needs it.

We do offer our donors the ability to direct their donation, whenever possible, to certain types of requests. Examples would be medical, communication, tactical, or K-9.

To maximize our donors’ dollars, Troops Direct has a national processing center in Topeka, KS. If you ever have questions about communications you receive, please contact our Development Director, Melissa Kelley, at melissa@troopsdirect.org.
