The battle buddy system teaches Soldiers how to work together as a team and how to look out for fellow Soldiers at all times — and that’s how we describe the partnership AAFMAA has built with Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB).
Team RWB was founded with the mission to enrich the lives of Veterans’ physical and mental health. Armed Forces Mutual's mission is to help ensure the financial security and independence of the members of the American Armed Forces community by providing insurance and other benefits that support their lives. Together, we are able to support the physical, mental, and financial health of our nation’s Veterans and their families.
But this partnership didn’t happen overnight. Armed Forces Mutual and Team RWB have been working together for years through sponsorships of the Army Ten-Miler in Washington, DC and the All American Marathon in Fort Bragg, NC.

"The partnership, and friendship, Mike and I have built over the last few years came together naturally because both of our organizations are passionate about enriching the lives of Veterans and those in the military," said Armed Forces Mutual President Mike Meese. "Just as Team RWB helps with physical fitness, Armed Forces Mutual helps with financial fitness, increasing our Members' financial independence and security.”
