In August 2016, Air Force Chief of Staff (CSAF) General David Goldfein, released his letter to Airmen titled, "The Beating Heart of the Air Force...Squadrons!"
In turn, AFSVA was asked to establish an activity rich program that would equip empowered Squadron/Unit commanders with options to facilitate unit cohesion.
Unite provides Commanders with funding to initiate programs that will benefit all Airmen in their unit. This includes assigned Active Duty and APF/NAF Civilians.
Family members are welcome to participate, but they must pay any associated fees.
The installation C3 can confirm your allocations and will make payments on your behalf. Units received $17.50/person APF (for activity related expenses such as equipment rentals, supplies, decorations, and services) and $5/person NAF (for food and beverage purchases) based on unit end strength. APFs must be used on or before 16 December or they will be forfeited. NAFs must be used by mid-September 2020.
1. Ready to Execute (RTE): RTE programs are pre-approved and easy to implement. They keep funds on the installation and should be considered first. Options below.
2. Unit Driven: You have the freedom to design an event unique to your squadron on or off of the installation. Unit driven events require your Commander's signature and approval from the AF Services Activity which may take up to 30 days.
3. Volunteer Events: Free & volunteer events are automatically approved.
1. Complete the POC Appointment Letter: Squadron Commanders, please complete the APPOINTMENT LETTER and email it to [email protected]
2. Event Proposal: Meet with your installation C3 to discuss your objectives, event ideas, and to complete the EVENT PROPOSAL FORM.
AFSVA event approval may take up to 30 days.
3. DoD ID Numbers: ID Numbers are requested to send participants after action surveys to examine the correlation between participation in FSS programs, services, and activities and airmen & unit readiness.
4. Have Fun at Your Event!
5. Submit After Action Information: We are relying on you to provide detailed after action information to improve the program.
