The Army Family Covenant represents a $1.4 billion commitment to improve the quality of life for Army Families. It formally recognizes the sacrifices made on the home front while the Army is at war and pledges to standardize funding for existing Family programs and services, increase the accessibility and quality of health care, improve Soldier and Family housing, ensure excellence in schools, youth services and child care, and expand education and employment opportunities for Family members. 

The covenant recognizes the hardships families face in support of their Soldiers and pledges to support Army Families and improve their quality of life.  The covenant recognizes that while Soldiers defend the nation, their strength is in their families.
