Page "Yongsan Garrison" Paragraph 11

On 13 December 2007 Yongsan Garrison officials and the IMCOM-Korean commanding general pledged their support to develop and improve family programs during an Army Family Covenant signing ceremony.

According to garrison officials, “ The Army Family Covenant is our commitment to deliver a quality of life commensurate to our Soldiers ’ service .” During the ceremony, the Yongsan Garrison commander cited recent improvements to family programs at the USAG-Yongsan, such as elimination of initial registration fees for child care, extended hours for respite care and extended-duty child care, and expanded programs for teens and after-school care, including youth sports.

Since the Army announced the covenant, it also committed $ 1. 4 billion to family programs in fiscal 2008.
