The Military Auxiliary Radio System is a Department of Defense sponsored emergency communications program, established as a separately managed and operated program by the Army, Navy and Air Force. The program consists of licensed amateur radio operators who are interested in military communications. They contribute to the MARS mission providing auxiliary or emergency communications on a local, national, and international basis as an adjunct to normal communications.

Texas Army MARS provides unique capabilities to emergency management organizations of all kinds. If you are interested in speaking with our leadership regarding possibilities for Texas Army MARS to provide adjunct emergency communications for your civilian or military operations, please contact our state director, AAA6TX.
