Unite Program

Initiating Programs That Benefit All

The Unite program at Sheppard AFB provides Commanders with the maximum flexibility to have morale programs that build unit cohesion for all Airmen in their unit including assigned Active Duty and APF/NAF Civilians. The Community Cohesion Coordinator (C3) provides assistance in planning the squadron events. The C3 has the funding and is ready to help unit commanders promote their squadron’s morale programs!

Why Unite?

“It is time to revitalize the squadron as the warfighting core of our Air Force. Our vision demands that squadrons be highly capable, expeditionary teams who can successfully defend our Nation’s interests in both today’s and tomorrow’s complex operating environments. We will succeed only when our squadrons are the cohesive, ready, and agile fighting forces that the Air Force, Combatant Commanders, and the Nation requires.” – DAVE GOLDFEIN General, USAF Chief of Staff

Things to Consider

Know Before You Call

  • Family members are welcome to participate; however, must pay any associated fees.
  • Funds are not authorized for prizes, holiday parties, retirements, or change of commands.
  • Unite funds cannot be combined with unit enhancement funds or SM&W funds.

Event Categories

Unite events are classified into three different categories:

Ready to Ėxecute (RTE)
Programs provided by 82 FSS facilities. FSS related events should be considered first as they are pre-approved, easy to implement, and keep funds on the installation.

Unit Developed Events (UDE):
Squadron leaders are given the discretion to create UDPs that capitalize on opportunities available in the local area.

Volunteer:
Charitable work provides a cost-effective team-building activity that allows co-workers to see each other in a new light and can make a significant impact in your community. These events will still require coordination from the C3.
