Army Quality of Life

Empowering Our Soldiers and Families

Army Quality of Life

Quality of Life programs promote the health and well-being of the Army's people, increasing recruiting and retention and reducing overall stress and uncertainty. Increased quality of life for Soldiers, Army civilians, and families is directly tied to increased Army readiness.



QUALITY OF LIFE TASK FORCE

The Secretary of the Army officially chartered the Quality of Life (QoL) Task Force in March 2020. The task force developed a campaign plan to outline a comprehensive approach to strengthening QoL programs across the Army, including these priorities:

  • Invest significantly in housing and barracks
  • Provide robust virtual health capabilities and transition health care delivery to the Defense Health Agency
  • Increase access to child care
  • Promote spouse employment
  • Provide predictable and responsive services during PCS moves
  • Ensure Soldiers and families with U.S. Army Alaska and at select installations with unique needs such as Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Irwin, California and Fort Polk, Louisiana receive critical Quality of Life needs. The Army has made significant infrastructure improvements at these locations and continues to invest in tailored programs, services and facilities that will help Soldiers and family members thrive.
