The Non Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA) is a federally chartered, non-profit, fraternal association founded in 1960. NCOA received its federal charter from Congress in 1988. Its purpose is to:
- Uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States and support a strong national defense with a focus on military personnel issues.
- Promote health, prosperity and scholarship among its members and their families through legislative and benevolent programs.
- Improve benefits for service members, veterans, their family members and survivors.
- Assist service members, veterans, their family members and survivors in filing benefit claims.
The NCOA is a 'Total Force' organization, unified in its commitment to enlisted service members - active duty, veterans and retirees - from all five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserve. NCOA is actively involved in military and veteran service activities through more than 100 chapters within the United States and abroad. The NCOA's chapters form the fraternal foundation of NCOA, through which our members contribute time and effort to military and community service, including civic involvement-i.e., support to military members and veterans, Special Olympics, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. In addition, the independent chapters of the International Auxiliary further enhance NCOA's goals.
Annually, our Chapter supports HQ NCOA Benevolent Programs, AF Enlisted Widows Foundation, Plaques for Quarterly Award winners, Fiesta Commission Fundraiser, Academic Achievement Award for the Airman Leadership School, Randolph Family of the Year, Door prizes for AFSA's Xmas Party, NCOA Spouses Appreciation Day, Randolph High School Project Graduation, Disaster Relief Fund, and many others.
Please join us as we continue to work toward achieving these goals and to make a difference for our "Enlisted Corp." We urge you to become involved in your own future by joining the NCOA and the thousands who have learned and experienced that there truly is "Strength in Numbers."
