Military Saves is part of the Defense Department’s Financial Readiness Campaign to motivate military families to save more of their income every month. It also encourages military leaders and organizations to be more aggressive in promoting saving. The program encourages all service members, their families and civilian employees to take the Military Saves pledge.
