AFA Field Council

The Air Force Association (AFA) is launching major initiatives to strengthen support for Air Force families and enhance our relevance within the Blue-Suit community. Our mission emphasizes leveraging the current pro-military climate to encourage membership and engage with non-traditional members from local communities. We aim to support Airmen and their families, focusing on education for military children, assistance for deployed personnel’s families, and the well-being of wounded Airmen. By involving Chapters and showcasing success stories, we can create a stronger network of support.
