Our Mission
MOAA is the nation's largest and most influential association of military officers. It is an independent, nonprofit, politically nonpartisan organization. With about 370,000 members from every branch of service - including active duty, retired, National Guard, Reserve, and former officers, spouses and their families - we are a powerful force speaking for a strong national defense and representing the interests of military, enlisted and officers, at every stage of their careers. The association plays an active role in military personnel matters especially proposed legislation affecting the career force, the retired community, and veterans of the uniformed services.
The Capitol Area Chapter, MOAA, was chartered on November 12, 1970. Col (Ret) Howard E. Derby, USAR, as Regional Representative of the Retired Officers Association made the presentation.
Membership included a generous mix of all US services, officer ranks, and spouses. The Chapter has experienced regular growth, currently with more than 170 members. All members of US Uniformed Services are strongly encouraged to join and take an active role in the Chapter. With One Powerful Voice, a strong national defense and our earned benefits can be maintained.
