Summary

The Army Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) program is a quality-of-life program that directly supports readiness by providing a variety of community, soldier, and family support activities and services. MWR offers worldwide support through a comprehensive network of programs and services at each installation-from family, child and youth programs to recreation, sports, entertainment, travel and leisure activities. The mission of MWR is to serve the needs, interests, and responsibilities of all people in the Army community-soldiers, their families, civilian employees, military retirees, and other eligible participants-for as long as they are associated with the Army, no matter where they are located.
