How is ACS primarily staffed?

The Army Community Service (ACS) program is primarily staffed by volunteers. This approach allows the ACS to remain closely connected to the community it serves, leveraging the dedication and commitment of personnel who have firsthand experience with the challenges faced by service members and their families. Volunteers typically include family members, retirees, and other community members who are invested in improving the resources and services available.

While the involvement of military personnel and specialists may occur in certain situations, particularly for specific programs or initiatives, the backbone of ACS staffing relies heavily on the enthusiasm and local knowledge that volunteers provide. This ensures that services are tailored to meet the unique needs of the base community effectively. Utilizing volunteers also reflects the Army's emphasis on community engagement and support.
