The purpose of the Council is to promote the aims of the Military Officers Association of America; further the legislative and other objectives of the Military Officers Association; protect the rights and interests of retirees and active members of the seven uniformed services of the USA in matters of state as well as federal legislation; and provide assistance to member chapters to enable them to effectively serve their members, communities, and the nation.
The Kansas Council meets quarterly at different locations hosted by the local chapters.
