AUSA is a group that affiliates with the US Army. It’s purpose is to connect the community near the base with the soldiers and families that are part of it.

The Eastside subchapter just formed this year. Already, it threw a wildly successful welcome home party for the 555th Engineering battalion in November.

If you, your group or your business would like a stronger connection to the troops at JBLM, you should come out and see what they’re all about Wednesday, January 15, 6 p.m. at JR’s Whistle Stop, 224th & the Mountain Highway in Elk Plain.
