Total Army Strong to succeed Army Family Covenant -- Total Army Strong, successor to the Army Family Covenant, is our continued commitment to #Soldiers, #Families and civilians, said Lt. Gen. David D. Halverson, assistant chief of staff for installation management and commanding general, #InstallationManagementCommand. Through Total Army Strong we will sustain a system of programs and services to mitigate the unique demands of military life, foster life skills, strengthen resilience and promote a strong and ready Army. During fiscal years 2007 through 2010, the Army doubled its investment in funding for Soldier and family programs and improved the quality-of-life portfolio by building new youth and child development centers and creating Survivor Outreach Services, to help the families of lost Soldiers. The covenant also built upon Family Assistance Centers for the National GuardGuard and U.S. Army Reserve, improved Army housing and increased the accessibility to health care. Throughout that period, there was a lot of building and growing of programs, but then we hit 2010, 2011, and we started going to the sustain mode, the improvement mode a bit and that really helped us standardize and get things in order for the Army, said Robert E. Hansgen of the Soldier and Family Readiness Division of IMCOM.| #Army #news: army.mil/article/136184/_Total_Army_Strong__to_succeed_Army_Family_Covenant/ | #TotalArmyStrong, #ArmyStrong, Army IMCOM, Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness, #Resilience, #R2C
