Brosius previously was deputy director of Joining Forces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMilitary families still need support,\u201d Brosius told The Associated Press by telephone Thursday before she joined Jill Biden at a virtual meeting with representatives of organizations that support military families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the session, Jill Biden said that, when Joining Forces was launched in 2011, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/2016\/11\/15\/first-lady-makes-final-push-for-joining-forces-future\/\" target=_blank>she and Mrs. Obama<\/a> \u201cknew we had to start by listening.

We\u2019ll continue to listen and work with you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mrs. Obama and Jill Biden, as the wife of then-Vice President Joe Biden, launched Joining Forces to encourage members of the public and the private sector to find ways big and small to support service members, veterans, their families and their caregivers. The program focused on education, employment and wellness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jill Biden brought to the White House a unique awareness of military family issues. Her late son, Beau, had served in the Delaware Army National Guard. Jill Biden continued working with military families through the Biden Foundation after leaving the White House in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration also made a point of highlighting military issues and veterans, with President Donald Trump increasing the military budget and working to improve veterans\u2019 health care. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/military-honor\/salute-veterans\/2016\/11\/12\/michelle-obama-s-signature-military-initiative-faces-an-uncertain-future-under-donald-trump\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ap-joining-forces-celebration.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Michelle Obama&#8217;s signature military initiative faces an uncertain future under Donald Trump<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Joining Forces&#039; past and current directors highlight the program&#039;s successes to date.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outgoing first lady Melania Trump and Karen Pence, the wife of vice president Mike Pence, also worked on military family support issues, but without the banner of Joining Forces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mrs. Pence, who has a son in the Marine Corps, keyed in on employment challenges military spouses face because they relocate frequently.
