The AUSA is a non-profit, educational and professional development association serving America’s total army— our soldiers, army civilians and their families, our industry partners, and supporters of a strong national defense. AUSA provides a voice for the army, supports the soldier, and honors those who have served in order to advance the security of the nation. 

AUSA educates its members, the public, industry and Congress about the critical nature of land warfare and the army’s central role in national defense. AUSA informs its members, our communities, and Congress about issues affecting America’s army and the soldiers who serve in the regular army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve. AUSA connects the army to the American people at the national, regional and chapter levels.
