Air Force services recently added a new tool to encourage servicemembers and their families who are affected by deployments to participate in morale, welfare, and recreation programs and activities. The "Recharge for Resiliency" (R4R) initiative was designed to help Airmen readjust to life at home and also include families in their reintegration. R4R can be used to reduce impact on current programs, and the initiative can be implemented as best suits each unit. Currently, 38 Air Force installations participate in R4R, and any remaining units interested in participating must execute funds allotted for their populations by Sept. 30. The Air Force Reserve Command does not offer R4R, as it already operates the Yellow Ribbon Program for reservists en route to and from deployment. For more information on available R4R programs, contact your local base force support squadron.
