About the Army’s Army
THE ARMY’S ARMY was established in May 2008 as the world's only volunteer organization of citizens and businesses who've pledged their moral, physical and spiritual support to those in the military. Specifically, we will do everything we can to make soldiers and their families feel welcome, appreciated and safe. We don’t just give lip service to the line “Support the troops,” we live it.
The Army's Army's 1,500 volunteers and 50+ business partners play a vital role in fulfilling our promise of “watching over those who watch over us”

Fulfilling the Community Covenant
THE ARMY'S ARMY IS A LIVING, BREATHING
There is a widespread need for an organization like the Army's Army that provides relocation assistance and integrated community support to soldiers and their families in every military community throughout the US. Our goal is to fulfill that need.

Fairs include planned activities, such as informative presentations from key community leaders, employment opportunities, tours of area schools and neighborhoods, as well as entertainment.
In addition, the Army's Army Executive Director keeps a blog letting soldiers know about items of interest in their community.
