BOSS identifies real soldier well being issues and concerns by recommending improvements through the chain of command. BOSS encourages and assists single soldiers in identifying and planning for recreational and leisure activities. Additionally, it gives single soldiers the opportunity to participate in and contribute to their respective communities

  4. HISTORY OF BOSS • The BOSS program was established in 1989 to respond to the recreational needs of single soldiers, who make up 35% of the Army. As the program was implemented throughout the Army, it became evident that well being was the primary concern of single soldiers. • In 1991, the Chief of Staff of the Army officially expanded BOSS to include all aspects of soldiers' lives. BOSS members later began to express an interest in participating in community service projects. Recreation and leisure, well being, and community service are the core components or the three pillars of the BOSS program.
