Army Renews Its Covenant With Army Families

The Army Family Covenant was officially re-signed at Fort Stewart in Georgia this past November. Army leaders re-signed the important agreement between leadership and Army families one year after it was implemented.

Army Family Covenant recognizes the many sacrifices made by Army Families during this time of war and pledges to help Army families in a variety of ways, including increased child and health care opportunities, as well as real efforts to increase the career and educational opportunities for all members of the Army family, and the Army spouse in particular.  

During the signing ceremony Army leaders said that the re-signing was a declaration of the importance the Army continues to place on families. The officers present emphasized that although they were not present at last year’s signing, the Army’s commitment to Army families is strong. 

“Just because the first folks who signed (the Army Family Covenant) have left does not mean there’s any less energy or desire to see this come to fruition,” Major General Cucolo said during opening remarks before the signing. “The team that signed this might have changed, but the commitment is the same. We’re here today to re-affirm that commitment.”
