Who We Are

The Association of the United States Army (AUSA) is a private, nonprofit, educational association comprising individual, business, and organizational members. Our dedicated purpose is to support and maintain a strong national defense, emphasizing the critical role of the United States Army. We champion the needs and interests of all components of the Total Army: Active Duty, Army Reserve, National Guard, Department of the Army civilians, retirees, and family members.

Our Mission

Our mission is to educate, inform, and connect the Soldiers, Families, and the surrounding community of Fort Lee, as well as the National Guard and US Army Reserve units within our chapter's area.

Community Partnerships

Our programs thrive through strong community partnerships. The AUSA Community Partner Program offers local organizations an opportunity to publicly demonstrate support for Soldiers and their families, all while strengthening their own business objectives.

A 2-year Community Partnership is available for a nominal fee and includes two premium memberships. This program provides all the benefits of AUSA, plus professional development opportunities, local chapter programs, and social events that facilitate networking with military leaders, soldiers, families, and fellow Army supporters.
