The GFTB Program is designed for everyone: Service members,
spouses, parents, children, retirees, civilian employees, and
interested community members. It helps the Guard “family” by
teaching all aspects of life associated with the military,
specifically the National Guard. Please visit the GFTB Web site

The experience and success of the Army Family Team Building (AFTB)
provided a model upon which to build a distinct Guard-focused
program.
