The Army is introducing a new way
for Families and friends to communi-
cate with their loved ones who are
deployed in support of Operation
Enduring Freedom (OEF). Beginning
1 December 2009 the Army will
launch "HooahMail" as a pilot pro-
gram for fast, easy, secure, letter-
style correspondence to OEF de-
ployed Soldiers. Based on a proven
system used by the Marine Corps since
2003, HooahMail brings another method to
keep in touch with military members in
Afghanistan. From Stateside, HooahMail
offers a computer based process which will
generate a printed, sealed, letter-style
document for direct delivery to forward
operating bases throughout the OEF area
of operations. This one-way system will
allow secure download capabilities at se-
lected OEF remote sites. These letters will
then be printed on special equipment
which will print, fold, seal and address
the envelope for free delivery to OEF
Soldiers. HooahMail will be distributed
just like regular mail through unit mail-
rooms. At sites which don't get daily
postal mail service, HooahMail will offer
a free, convenient way to communicate.
This method could reduce delivery time
in some cases from 14+ days to remote
locations to same/next day service, with
an average 4 days to all other locations in
Afghanistan.
HooahMail will aug-
ment traditional postal
letter mail service.
Funded by
Department of
the Army, and
supported by
the current postal command structure,
HooahMail offers a new and exciting
way to strengthen communications to our
OEF Soldiers. For more information
about HooahMail visit their website at
www.hooahmail.us. For your conven-
ience we have posted the attached flyer
in the Download Center under
HooahMail on ArmyFRG.org.
