Support for military families remains a Department of Defense priority
even as the Department continues to address significant budget
reductions in the coming years. The Department’s goal is to care for,
support and empower military families through meaningful, relevant
and impactful policies, programs and initiatives. In collaboration with
the Military Services and key stakeholders, Military OneSource, a
quality of life priority initiative, was launched and is centrally managed
in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military
Community and Family Policy (ODASD (MC&FP)).
Military OneSource was launched in response to the need for a
centralized assistance program to support service members and their
families. It provides active, reserve, and Guard service members
(regardless of status) and their families with information, referral,
non-medical counseling, online resources, educational materials,
webinars, newsletters, outreach teams in each state, tax support and
many other services.
• Military OneSource provides specialty consultation services (for
example, wounded warrior, special needs, language and document
translation, simultaneous interpretation, adult disability, elder care,
education, health and wellness coaching, and financial counseling).
