MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
FROM: HQ USAF/CVA
1670 Air Force Pentagon
Washington, DC 20330-1670
SUBJECT: Air Force Family Readiness EDGE
The United States Air Force is committed to taking care of its own. Our Air Force families
deserve the best support possible. Steadfast, home front support for family members is provided bythe Integrated Delivery System (IDS) coalition. To assist this crucial linkage, please accept the
support of the Air Force Community Action Information Board and the Air Force Family Readiness
EDGE (Atch).
The Air Force Family Readiness EDGE targets issues that could potentially lead to a military
member’s early return from deployment. Tailored support of the base helping agencies targets
deployment-related stressors and engages the services of base helping agencies. Websites to further
assist families are included.
My first priority is to ensure distribution of this web-based guide to the IDS helping agency
members who are supporting family members of deployed personnel. Also, MAJCOM CAIB andIDS members, base wing commanders, and base CAIB and IDS members can access and download
the guide through their Air Force websites.
If you have any questions, my point of contact is Lt Col Patricia Moseley, Air Force Special
Needs Program Manager, AFMOA/SGZF, 5203 Leesburg Pike, Suite 702, Falls Church, VA 22401,
telephone 703-575-5151, or e-mail: [email protected].
As always, we remain One Force, One Family.

MEMORANDUM FOR OUR AIR FORCE FAMILY
FROM: HQ USAF/CVA
1670 Air Force Pentagon
Washington DC 20330-1670
SUBJECT: Air Force Family Readiness EDGE
Our commitment to the war on terrorism may result in many Airmen being absent from home
or working extended hours. Separation from our families is a heartfelt, somber consequence of duty.
The sacrifices of our Air Force families are deeply appreciated. Our Air Force families deserve thebest support possible.
The United States Air Force is committed to taking care of its own. Steadfast, home front
support is provided to family members by the Integrated Delivery System. To assist this crucial
linkage, please accept the support of the Air Force Community Action Information Board and the Air
Force Family Readiness EDGE.
It is critical to me that information on resources and services are readily available to you. A
family’s connection to the network of base, community, and national support services can begin with
this guide. Information on the following pages provides an overview of Air Force services and staff who are ready to assist in all phases of deployment and reintegration. We stand ready to provide
assistance and support to our Air Force family.
As always, we remain One Force, One Family.
