Army Family Team Building is not a new idea or concept. It is the formal
recognition and naming of something the Army and Army families have been doing
for over 200 year-sustaining and nurturing the force, serving the Nation, and
empowering families.
Army Family Team Building is an integral component of the Chief of Staff's
well-being initiative. It is about READINESS-Mission Readiness and Family
Readiness-adapting to Army life, accepting challenges, managing change, and
developing life skills. By helping families reach their maximum potential, AFTB
contributes to soldier performance, recruiting, retention, and most of all,
readiness.
Our mission is to educate and train the Army, Civilians, and family members in
knowledge, skills, and behaviors designed to prepare families for the future.
The Goal is to empower family members to help other family members! AFTB is a
family member grassroots-driven program, created as a result of lessons learned
during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
AFTB trainings are divided into three levels of instruction-Level I, Level II,
Level III and the Instructor Training. Although the trainings are progressive
and sequential, you may attend any module of any level depending upon your needs
or interests (i.e., Level III materials, then Level II, Instructor Training, any
blockings, etc.)
