Our mission is to promote the purposes and objectives of the Military Officers Association of America; to increase and foster supportive relations among retired, active, and former commissioned and warrant officers of the U.S. uniformed services; to organize and advocate to protect the rights, earned benefits, and interests of our members and all U.S. uniformed veterans, their dependents and survivors; to undertake charitable, social and similar events; and serve our community, Cochise County, the state of Arizona, and the nation.
About the MOAA
The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is the nation’s largest organization representing the interests of retired military officers and their families. Founded in 1927, MOAA has a long history of advocacy, service, and community engagement. Our mission is to serve as a unified voice for retired military officers, advocating for their rights and interests while fostering camaraderie, professional development, and community engagement. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where retired military officers can connect with one another, share their experiences, and find a sense of belonging.
