Unite Program
In August 2016, Air Force Chief of Staff (CSAF) General David Goldfien, released his letter to Airmen titled, “The Beating Heart of the Air Force…Squadrons!”
In turn, AFSVC was asked to establish an activity rich program that would equip empowered Squadron/Unit Commanders with options to facilitate unit cohesion. Unite provides Commanders with funding to initiate programs that will benefit all Airmen in their unit.
Unite is available to all Air Force and Space Force Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, and APF/NAF DoD civilians assigned to Hanscom AFB, tenants, GSU’s and ANG bases throughout the New England area.
Spouses and Dependents are eligible to use Unite funding with written approval from Squadron/Unit Commander.
Types of Events
Unit Developed Program (UDP) on base
Squadron leaders are given discretion to capitalize on opportunities available in the local area and on base within Force Support Squadron (FSS). *Bowling; Golf, equipment rental from ODR
Unit Developed Off Base
Unite events that are based on members suggested activities of the team-building needs that are not located on Hanscom AFB

5 Easy Steps

Commanders will appoint a squadron/unit Unite POC, in writing, to installation C3. Email the signed POC appointment form to C3 at courtney.cann@us.af.mil
2. Event Proposal
Complete the Event Proposal Form at least 10 days prior to the event and email to C3. All events must be recreational, and activity based to utilize Unite funds. C3 will submit the request to AFSVC for approval. December 19 is the deadline for event execution.
3. Event Prep
Once the event is approved, confirm the date and time with the venue and coordinate the payments with your C3. All payments must be paid tax-exempt by C3 via NAF PCard. All off-base vendors must have a current 889 form on file prior to payment and accept payment over the phone or via a secure online link. Requesting units will not be reimbursed for any purchases made via personal credit cards, checks, or cash.

Have fun at your event with your team! Pictures are required for all events.
5. Submit After Action Information
The installation C3 won’t be attending your Unite event, as this is a teambuilding event specifically for your unit. We are relying on you or a designee to provide feedback on your event and vendors utilized. Complete the AAR form, receipts, and submit at least 3 photos to C3 within 5 business days.
