Unite Program

What We Offer

In August 2016 a letter to the Airmen titled, “The Beating Heart of the Air Force…Squadrons!” was established as an activity-rich program that would equip empowered Squadron/Unit commanders with options to facilitate unit cohesion. Unite provides Commanders with funding to initiate programs that will benefit all Airmen in their unit. This includes assigned Active Duty and APF/NAF Civilians.
