Army Family Covenant
The Army Family Covenant is the Army’s statement of commitment to provide high quality services to Soldiers – Active component or Reserve components, single or married, regardless of where they serve – and their Families.
The Installation Management Command supports the Army Family Covenant and provides a set of tools Soldiers and Army Families can use to locate and access the facilities and services they need.
"We recognize the commitment and increasing sacrifices that our families are making every day. We recognize the strength of our Soldiers comes from the strength of their families. We are committed to providing our families a strong, supportive environment where they can thrive. We are committed to building a partnership with Army families that enhances their strength and resilience. We are committed to improving family readiness by:
- Standardizing and funding existing family programs and services
- Increasing accessibility and quality of healthcare
- Improving Soldier and family housing
- Ensuring excellence in schools, youth services, and child care
- Expanding education and employment opportunities for family members"
