Support Your Service Member

Military OneSource is your link to military life, with information tailored for Friends and Extended Family.

 

As a parent, sibling, grandparent, fiancé, extended family member or friend of a service member, you feel pride for your loved one’s call to serve. You may also have questions about your service member’s military experience. We have answers for you.

The Department of Defense and Military OneSource understand you are a source of strength in your service member’s support network. That’s why we are committed to helping you better understand military life, military culture and the resources available to your loved one.
