TREA History: | |
TREA was established in 1960 to enhance and maintain the quality of life for the entire enlisted force in all branches of the Armed Forces, past and present, their families, and their survivors. Its inclusive professional development program for active duty, Guard and Reserve Components of all uniformed services has provided unique symposium programs where participants experience joint military perspectives. In recognition of their work on behalf of military members, families, survivors and veterans, TREA was granted a Federal Charter by the U.S. Congress in 1988, one of only a few veteran organizations to receive this distinction.
Today, TREA remains a vital fraternal, benevolent, non-profit organization and acts as a conduit between the military and civilian communities in local areas and promotes positive community relations. The Association is proud of its efforts in three primary areas: Legislative Representation; Social and Fraternal Programs; and Member Benefits in the area of specialized services and discount programs. TREA has much to offer its members and you too can join our fold. Membership in TREA is open to all, however, you must meet certain criteria to be a voting member of the Association, but this does not prevent you from being an Associate member and supporting our organization and reaping the full range of member benefits!
