Being a single parent in the Army means navigating a demanding dual role as a soldier and caregiver. Balancing military duties with parental responsibilities requires emotional resilience, adaptability, and a reliable support system. Despite the inherent challenges, single parents in the military often find unexpected rewards through community support and personal growth.
On April 25, 2025 the XVIII Airborne Corps Headquarters Battalion held a special physical training (PT) event to raise awareness for the Army’s Sexual Harassment/Assualt Response and Prevention (SHARP) program in honor of Sexual Assualt Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM). The event aimed at bringing together Soldiers across all ranks to help bring awareness to the Army’s SHARP program while building camaraderie within the battalion.
