The Army Family Team Building is an educational program which provides training that prepares everyone in America’s Army to function at the highest level, in any situation, with minimal outside support. The training improves personal and family preparedness, which enhances overall Army readiness. AFTB is a series of classes for (and taught by) military spouses and soldiers designed to give you the tools to survive in the military lifestyle. Learn about community resources, military terms, benefits, leadership skills and more.

Family Training: 
The program is really the Army Family Team Building Program.  It is slightly modified to embrace all services and status (Active Duty, Reserve and Guard).

The program helps families adjust to the military lifestyle.  The service member receives intensive indoctrination to their service.  On the other hand, family members are lost in the acronyms, customs, and other subtle aspects of military life.  This is where AFTB tries to help.  It is taught by family members for family members.

AFTB has a level for you....

  • LEVEL I is composed of 8 modules or classes (6-8 hours of training) and is designed for Army spouses and soldiers the new to the Army or anyone interested in updating personal skills or basic knowledge. Classes include military acronyms & terms, customs and chain of command/chain of concern. Level 1 classes are the “Basic Training” you need to survive and thrive in the Army.

  • LEVEL II has 19 modules (20-22 hours of training) that are geared toward emerging leaders. Classes include Leadership Skills, Group Dynamics, Family Readiness Groups, and Adapting to Change. Level 2 classes are designed to equip you to be a volunteer leader and/or effective group member in all your organizations.

  • LEVEL III has 14 modules (20-22 hours of training) offering training to enhance the professional growth and leadership development opportunities of soldiers and family members, especially those who might assume advisory and mentoring leadership roles with the community and unit. Level 3 classes help you transition from leader to advisor.
