Army Community Covenant
The Community Covenant program is designed to foster and sustain effective state and community partnerships with the Army to improve the quality of life for Soldiers and their families, both at their current duty stations and as they transfer to other states. It is a formal commitment of support by state and local communities to Soldiers and families of the Army - active, Guard and Reserve.
While the Community Covenant is an Army program, it extends to the other military services as well, recognizing that many community efforts support all service members and their families regardless of the uniform they wear.
The Community Covenant was signed in Hawaii July 4, 2008, during the installation's annual Fourth of July Spectacular. Click here to read the article.
