Handbook for Garrison Commanders and a reference for School Superintendents

The Handbook for Garrison Commanders and a reference for School Superintendents, developed and published by the MCEC for the U.S. Army Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Command, has two purposes.

  • Serve as a research-centered, practical guide to assist Army Garrison Commanders and their staff in:
    - engaging their supporting school district(s), and
    - assessing and developing action plans to "ensure excellence in schools" in accordance with the Army Family Covenant.
  • Highlight promising practices from partnerships between installations and school districts to address:
    - the stresses of deployment, and
    - the significant turbulence/uncertainties created in the wake of Army Transformation.
