First announced in 2007, the Army Family Covenant (AFC) institutionalized the Army’s
commitment to support Soldiers and their Families. The operations tempo over recent
years has asked Servicemembers and their Families to continue to make greater sacrifices
than in years past. The Army Family Covenant is the Army’s response, a promise back to
Soldiers, that acknowledges their hardships and shows appreciation for the extraordina-
ry challenges Military Families endure. In Stuttgart, a “Purple Community” serving all
branches of the military, the benefits from the Army Family Covenant improve the quality
of life of everyone.
