The mission of TREA: The Enlisted Association is to enhance the quality of life for uniformed services enlisted personnel, their families and survivors - including active components, Reserves, and National Guard, and all retirees; to stop the erosion of earned benefits through our legislative efforts, to maintain our esprit de corps, dedication and patriotism, and to continue our devotion and allegiance to God and Country.

Founded in 1963 in Colorado Springs by Air Force retirees, George Skonce and Dean Sorrell, the organization was awarded a Charter from Congress in 1992.
