Support for Military
Funding for MWR programs and services is based on three categories: A-mission sustaining, B-community support and C-revenue generating.
Each category supports military readiness by providing community, service member and family support services. Programs in these categories are funded by Congress through appropriated funds, self-generated nonappropriated funds or a combination of the two.
Category A programs and services are considered the most essential in meeting the organizational objectives of the services. These programs should be supported almost entirely with appropriated funds. Programs within this category promote the physical and mental well-being of the military member, thereby supporting the basic military mission.

Revenue-generating programs at designated MWR remote and isolated locations may receive the same type of APF support as those in Category B.
