12 The Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program has been supporting the overall quality of life for single and unaccompanied Soldiers assigned to duty stations around the world since 1989.
Now, for the first time ever, the program has been established for deployed and rotational troops in Poland thanks to a small team of U.S. Army Reserve civil affairs Soldiers.
“One of our major objectives in Poland is to integrate U.S. forces with local communities, and their leaders, to identify and/or mitigate friction points,” said Army Reserve Cpt. Daniel Allen, team chief for Civil Affairs Team 5737, 361st Civil Affairs Brigade, 7th Mission Support Command. “The concept of BOSS has tremendous potential as it will encourage Soldiers to get out into the Polish communities, in a post COVID19 environment.”
