WHY BRAT CORPS?

Because Military Brats Deserve More Than Memories.

For generations, military brats have built friendships that ended with PCS orders, left communities they loved, and entered adulthood without a permanent place to reconnect with others who understood their experiences.

While military families have many outstanding organizations supporting active-duty life, no national institution existed to serve military brats throughout every stage of life.

The Challenge

Military brats often experience:

  • Frequent relocation

  • Interrupted friendships

  • School transitions

  • Cultural adjustment

  • Identity loss after military life

  • Limited lifelong networking opportunities

  • Few institutions preserving military brat history

  • No permanent home base
