Family Engagement Kit 2009
As leaders, we’ve come to realize that “battle buddies” are a key factor in keeping Soldiers safe on the battlefield. They provide each other with an extra set of eyes and ears and, sometimes, a much needed sanity check.
On the home front, a Soldier’s “battle buddy” is often his or her family. Family Members are frequently the front line of defense when it comes to affecting a Soldier’s decision making process or reaction to a particular situation. And just as engaged leadership has made a difference in Soldier’s safety on-duty, engaged Families can have that same impact in our Soldiers’ off-duty safety as well.
I ask each of you to be that home front “battle buddy” and help the Army take better care of your Soldier. Family Members are also each other’s “battle buddies” when their spouses are deployed. Watch over each other and recognize when to step in or to ask for help. Soldiers can better do their jobs when they know their Families are safe back home.
With your help we can better protect our Nation’s most valued assets – our Soldiers and their Family Members. This kit has simple, yet effective, “how to” instructions combined with other useful aids to help you take care of all our Soldiers. If you have any questions, please contact your local Safety Office or ACS.
Army Safe is Army Strong!
