STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 Scope

INSCOM will conduct a Strong Bonds marriage program on 25-26 March 2010 in order to support Soldiers and DA civilians of the INSCOM community.

2.0 Background

As members of the worlds premier fighting force, Army Soldiers sacrifice for our country every day, and so do their loved ones. Military life places extreme hardship on relationships, especially in wartime, so the Army backed by Congress -has committed unprecedented resources to help Soldiers build stronger relationships through the Strong Bonds Program.

Strong Bonds has specialized programs for single Soldiers, couples and families. Those Soldiers being deployed or redeployed can also learn special coping tactics.
Strong Bonds empowers Soldiers and their loved ones with relationship-building skills, and connects them to community health and support resources. It is a holistic, preventative program committed to the restoration and preservation of Army families, even those near crisis. The program is initiated and led by the Army Chaplains. More than 90% of those who have attended the program rate it positively.
