About the Program
We are the 92 FSS UNITE program. Our goals are to support SQ leaders, maximize use of FSS facilities, measure impact, and provide maximum flexibility to SQ commanders. You can use this program for any of the following reasons: Develop a new skill or competency. Improve physical fitness. Increase esprit de corps, comradery, or morale. Promote interaction between unit members. Provide an opportunity for fun or relaxation. Reinforce peer, squadron, or AF corps values. Work on team-building exercises.
Why Do UNITE Events?
UNITE events benefit all Airmen in your unit – Active AF, Reserve and Civilian (appropriated and non-appropriated employees) that are directly assigned to the squadron. NEW this year, family members are now able to participate in Unite activities.
Program Types
Unit Developed Events +
Squadron leaders are given the discretion to create UDPs that capitalize on opportunities available in the local area. UDPs require prior approval through the Air Force Services Activity (AFSVA) and may take up to 7 business days.
Volunteer +
Charitable work provides a cost-effective team building activity that allows co-workers to see each other in a new light and can make a significant impact in your community. Food funds can be used to enhance a volunteer event.
4 Easy Steps:
Step 1

Step 2
Complete an Event Proposal Form. Prepare and route event requests with details for your event. Email completed documents to the Fairchild UNITE Program C3 John Smith or call 509.247.8260.
Step 3
Once the event is approved by AFSVC, confirm the date and time with the venue/vendors, and then coordinate date and time to purchase food with your Community Cohesion Coordinator (C3).
Step 4
Complete After Action Report: After your event is over you will complete an After Action Report Form, signed by your unit commander, and return to the C3 with a minimum of 5 photos within 5 business days after your event.

Food options
How to Enhance your event with Food
According to the UNITE Program policy, you can do an activity w/o having food, but you cannot have food w/o an activity. Although this is the policy, think outside the box. You can have your meal at a separate time during the day than during your activity. For example, On Wingman Day have a breakfast burrito feed in the morning, get your mandatory training or commanders calls out of the way, and then do your activity in the afternoon. Or, go rock wall climbing during the day, and afterward, everyone goes to a pizza parlor for a meal. Purchase food from Commissary or other grocery store and make your own (BBQ, Picnic, etc.) Purchase Pre-Made food from On or Off Base Company
- Commissary Deli
- Alder House
- Pizza (Alder House, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, etc)
- Deli Sandwiches (Commissary, Subway, Jimmie Johns, Sandwich Platters, etc
