economic fairness that will support the well-being of 
all military personnel and their families.​

WE PROTECT THOSE WHO SERVE

within the DoD and VA.  

WE ARE A GLOBAL ASSOCIATION WITH A LOCAL IMPACT

With 7 Divisions and 125 Chapters worldwide, our members come together to make a difference within their own communities. We invite you to become a part of our Association.  Join AFSA now and seek out your Division and Chapter leaders to volunteer your time and talents today!

WE LEGISLATIVE, ADVOCATE AND EDUCATE FOR YOU

Armed Forces and Community Leaders to advocate for fair and equitable benefits including: current benefit protection, pay raises, commissary/exchange funding, educational and  employment opportunities for military spouses,  education and tuition assistance, adequate healthcare services, TRICARE benefits and reimbursements, COLA adjustments,  transition programs, care for survivors, POW/MIAs, and enhanced Veterans services.

History
The AFSA was founded in 1961 by four Air Force NCOs who recognized the need for an organization to represent the voice of all enlisted personnel to America’s elected and military leaders. AFSA founders Benny McGehee, Lee Thompson, Virgil Perry and Don Ward established the association, and McGehee later became the first president, becoming the first representative of an all-enlisted organization to give testimony before the House Armed Services Committee.
