Vision

To be the key enabler that provides a holistic perspective of Army Well-Being focused on balancing people needs with the needs of the Army and is responsive to emerging needs of the constituents and the institution.

  • Army Well-Being is directly linked to the relevance and readiness of our Army. Well- Being programs focus on meeting the needs of Soldiers (Active Duty, Army National Guard and Army Reserve), DA Civilians, Veterans, Retirees and Families – before, during and after deployment. In the past, the Army's programs concentrated on the quality of life of our people - defined as a standard of living to which individuals, communities, and nations strive to meet or exceed. Army Well-Being organizes and integrates these quality of life initiatives and programs into a Well-Being "framework. This framework provides a way to measure success in the Army’s people programs and to address emerging needs of our transforming Army. Army Well-Being is the “bridge” that connects Army needs with individual needs and at the core of all Well-Being initiatives are four strategic goals. These goals address the primary and basic needs of each member of the Total Army Family – To Serve, To Live, To Connect and To Grow .
  • or the Army to accomplish its mission – whether in a combat zone or garrison environment – we must all embrace the concept that we have an opportunity To Serve in support of something larger than ourselves. To Live is to be able to live according to a standard of living that we, as an Army, can be proud of. To Connect is to develop and maintain a sense of pride and belonging within the Army Team – Soldiers, DA Civilians, Retirees, Veterans and Families. To Grow is to take advantage of the numerous opportunities the Army provides for personal and professional growth. The objective of Army Well-Being is to address the physical, material, mental and spiritual needs of each member of the Total Army Family so they have the opportunity to achieve each of these goals to the degree they desire, enhancing their preparedness to perform and support the Army’s mission. Army Well-Being directly supports the ongoing Global War on Terrorism through initiatives such as - Deployment Cycle Support (DCS), Disabled Soldier Support System (DS3), and the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Rest and Recuperation (R&R) Leave Program.
