Abstract: Army fathers are consistently confronting and overcoming unique socio-cultural obstacles involving their paternal role.Due to the dynamic military culture in which Army fathers live, they could serve as powerful examples of resilience for all fathers in diverse communities.Transitions in the work environment such as frequent deployments, relocations, and other related stressors often create competing priorities for Army fathers.The enormous sacrifices, challenges, and demands that these dads face are often juxtaposed with the benefits, rewards, and honors involved with serving one's country.This research examines the influence of the paternal role on father involvement among fathers currently serving on active-duty in the United States Army.Utilizing a sample of military fathers (n = 161) from an Army installation, it was possible to identify various types of paternal roles and the corresponding levels of father involvement.This study provides a comprehensive plan for support programs and services to increase father involvement within families and communities.It also serves as a basis for educational programs and services Bishop Cecil A. Pratt, the example of Godliness continues to impact each generation for Gods glory.Last but, certainly not least, to all the soldiers, families, and fathers currently serving in the armed services, your sacrifices are not in vain as you proudly protect and defend our justice, liberty and freedom.Gratitude, honor, and Thanks! 1
