Operation: Military Kids

Operation: Military kids (OMK) is the U.S. Army’s collaborative effort with America’s communities to support children and youth of the National Guard, Amy Reserve and Active Duty families impacted by the Global War on Terrorism. State 4-H Military Liaisons lead OMK State Teams in 34 states in partnerships with the National Guard, Army Reserve, the Military Child Education Coalition, Boys and Girls Club of America, the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, and the American Legion.
