What Are Unit Funds?

Military personnel receive Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) support through participation in MWR activities at the installation to which they are assigned. Separate unit funds are not authorized for installation units, however at Installation Management Agency (IMA) direction, units may receive Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) monetary support through Garrison Morale Welfare and Recreation Operating Entity (GMWROE).
