Welcome

The First Militia Chapter, Association of the United States Army, was established in November 1994 in St. Augustine, Florida – our nation’s oldest city.  Our chapter represents the northeast Florida area, which includes the counties of Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Flagler, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns, Suwannee, and Union.  The Chapter also serves parts of Madison, Marion and Volusia Counties with other Florida AUSA Chapters. As an AUSA chapter our focus is to support AUSA initiatives, represent our Army service members, retirees, and their families, and to support our communities.  Our primary service programs include providing annual scholarships to deserving college students, annually recognizing the Army JROTC programs in our region, and supporting soldiers and their families in our region.  To ensure we are able to support our service programs we annually host a chapter golf tournament, which has proven to be a great success.  And finally, to ensure involvement and camaraderie within our organization we hold a quarterly dinner and general membership meeting that any and all are welcome to attend.

The Association of the United States Army was established in 1950 as a private non-profit organization that works to support all components of the United States Army, which includes the Active, National Guard, and Reserve components.  The focus of AUSA is to serve as a voice of the United States Army, to promote public awareness and support the Army’s role in our nation’s security effort, to provide education and information to promote a better understanding of our Army’s issues and activities, and to provide service and support to our soldiers, their families, and our communities.

As a chapter of the Association of the United States Army we stand proud and ready to serve our nation, state and community.  We welcome all who are interested in becoming a member and getting involved in our organization.  To become a member of AUSA, First Militia Chapter simply go to www.ausa.org and click on “Become an AUSA member”.  For information concerning the First Militia Chapter please click on the “Leadership” tab and either call or email the respective point of contact.
