The Association of the United States Army (AUSA) is the private organization chartered to support your Army. AUSA is a 501 non-profit organization that was formed in 1950 as a public advocate for the Army, its’ Soldiers, and their families. All chapter members are volunteers, and 100% of all funds raised go to the AUSA mission.
​
The AUSA mission: By law, the Army and Soldiers cannot petition Government to improve or correct issues in the Army. As a private organization, AUSA petitions the Government for the training, resources, and equipment needed to accomplish the Army’s many missions. AUSA also advocates in support of Army families for the services and support they need. AUSA also has an education objective in its charter to help the nation understand the elements of national security, and the history of the Army which has kept the nation free for 249 years. The third mission of AUSA is to connect and foster support for the Army among citizens, businesses, communities, industry, and civic organizations for the betterment of all common-interest people and entities.
