What is one basic service provided by ACES?

The Basic Skills Education Program offered by ACES (Army Continuing Education System) is designed to help service members improve their education levels, particularly focusing on fundamental skills essential for success in both military and civilian life. This program typically includes areas such as literacy, mathematics, and preparation for high school equivalency exams, thereby serving a crucial role in enhancing the educational background of military personnel. By participating in this program, service members can better prepare themselves for career advancement opportunities and ensure they meet educational requirements necessary for various roles within the military and beyond.

Other services like mortgage assistance, child care services, and military family advocacy may serve important needs within the military community but are not the primary focus of ACES’s mission, which centers around education and professional development for service members.
