  9. LTG James R. Helmly, Chief, Army Reserve “A major order culture change is taking place in the Reserve so that reservists know, upon joining, that they will be called up to active duty for between nine and twelve months every 4 to 5 years”

  10. OMK – The Concept • Responds to the needs of the military youth whose parents have been deployed in support of Overseas Contingency Operations • Infrastructure developed by 50 OMK state teams that work to build the community capacity of local community support networks to provide services that support child and youth of Military Families

  11. OMK – The Concept • Delivered in local communities through collaboration with Military Partners, 4-H Programs, Boys & Girls Clubs, the Military Child Education Coalition, The American Legion, Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, and other community agencies serving youth at national, state, and local levels.

  12. Guiding Principles of Operation: Military Kids • Partnerships and joint commitment at the federal, state, and local level are critical. • Rapid response to the issues is necessary to effect change. • Youth’s best interests are paramount. • OMK outreach services must be replicable. • OMK initiatives must be sustainable. • OMK impact must be documented.
