Army Reaches Out to Support All Families
[10/11/2007]
Secretary of the Army the Hon. Pete Geren and Army Chief of Staff George Casey announced a new program today, Sept. 17, to provide improved support to Army Soldiers and Families: The Army Integrated Family Support Network (AIFSN).
"Our Army must continue to examine the ever-changing needs of our Families and never cease in our effort to provide our Families a quality of life commensurate with the quality of their selfless service," Mr. Geren said. "In this era of persistent conflict, we can expect continuing deployments, and to sustain this effort, we have to eliminate the old way of supporting Families, and replace it with a system to support all Army Families with means that respond to a globally networked society communicating in mobile ways."
Until now, Active, Guard, and Reserve organizational structures created overlapping lines of authority with regard to programs for Army Families. Each component functioned independently in facing some funding challenges in the delivery of Family programs. The new Army Integrated Family Support Network is for both the Active and Reserve components, and is specifically designed with "geographically dispersed" Soldiers and Families in mind.
From mobilized Soldiers, to recruiters, to Families located outside reasonable driving distances to military facilities, the Army Integrated Family Support Network will link all Soldiers, Families and employers to the Family services/programs that they need. Practical examples of these services are pre-deployment support, training for Family Readiness Groups, TRICARE information and referral, child and youth resource referral, and ID cards. The network links military and civilian agencies and leverages those services in nearby communities to ensure Army services are available to Families closest to where they live. All Army Families will have information and resources at their fingertips.
Slightly more than $7 million has been invested in the training and technology to "jump start" the program to create uniform Family programs across components. This funding provides cross level staffing, training, and advanced technology to reach our geographically dispersed Families. The AIFSN capitalizes on the use of the internet.
Services will also target our new Soldiers and Families and those pending deployment. The AIFSN supports Family readiness in a time of persistent conflict by providing more consistent and uniform Family services during extended deployments of Active, Guard, and Reserve Soldiers.
Families will know that the Army cares and they will see the tangible evidence of that support each and every day as they link with Army assistance and support services, according to Delores Johnson, Project Officer for the AIFSN at the Family and MWR Command.
"It is a collective effort by the Army (Active, Guard and Reserve) and a huge culture change that will yield great dividends for the Army, Soldiers, civilians and Families," said Brig. Gen. Belinda Pinckney, Commanding General, Family and MWR Command.

[8/30/2007]
From the Commandant, United States Army War College: Today's military serves a Nation at War. The Battle Book III: A Guide for Spouses in Leadership Roles offers a wealth of information and resources that address the tough requirements of our times.
This handbook represents the caring work of spouses of students of the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) Class of 2005 and was recently updated by the USAWC student spouses of the Class of 2007.
It is designed to help Families learn about the military and better understand the Soldier's mission. The Soldier, the spouse, and the Family work together as a team. This guidebook provides a well researched, well written, and well organized view to move that team forward.
Military Spouses have always been a cornerstone of support for Soldiers and their Families. Family readiness for Soldiers and their Families depends on education and support programs that promote self reliance and enhances individual and Family wellbeing.

Attention: Vista Users
[7/18/2007]
Users attempting to take the RDC, FRG, and AFTB trainings utilizing the Vista operating system will not easily be able to until those trainings are converted for compatibility which we are currently in the process of doing.

A window will open which will allow you to add the appropriate website addresses that you like the system to regard as a trusted site. To ensure that Authorware files on MyArmyLifeToo run correctly under Vista, the following list of the sites below should be added to the "Trusted Sites" list in Internet Explorer:
