Soldier for Life is a U.S. Army strategic-level unit that acts as a connection arm for the Army to the government, veteran and military service organizations, communities, nonprofits, academia, and industry. Simply put, we help connect the Army with America and America with its Army.

Our primary areas of focus for information sharing and impacting lives are employment, education, and health and wellness. We serve a wide audience, including Soldiers at all stages of their Army service, veterans, their families, and the organizations and entities that support them. 

Soldier for Life’s job is to help shape and amplify policies, programs, and services for our Soldiers, veterans, and their families, and promote the Soldier for Life mindset. 

Connect & Shape

Through aggressive networking, research, and personal interactions, we work with our extensive network of military, government, and nongovernment organizations to help synchronize, influence, and shape policies and programs that support our military and veteran families.

• We assist in synchronizing the efforts of the numerous entities that are operating in the military and veteran support space. Our goal is to connect these organizations with the Army - and with each other - so we can all better serve our military and veteran communities.
• We share best practices with government and non-government entities that have the mission and capability to provide support to Soldiers, veterans, and families.
• We identify gaps, inefficiencies, and barriers to success in existing programs and initiatives and advocate for policy, program, or procedural changes to close those gaps and remove barriers. 

Share Resources

We focus on ensuring that Soldiers, veterans, their families, and Army leaders have awareness of - and access to - the plethora of resources and opportunities that are available for our Army and veteran families. We want to ensure that Army leaders and the American public stay connected to one another and are aware of the many governmental and non-governmental programs and resources that are out there to help our military and veteran communities. 

Promote the Soldier for Life Mindset

We work to instill the Soldier for Life mindset throughout the military and veteran communities. Our goal is to help create an environment where Soldiers embrace their positive Army experience and return to their communities as ambassadors to help inspire the next generation to serve.
