The national government presented the "Military Family" program, an initiative that offers discounts and special benefits for all personnel in the Defense system, both uniformed and civilian. The plan, formalized in Resolution 807/2025, will be announced at a press conference by presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni and Defense Minister Luis Petri, and aims to reach more than 1.1 million people across the country.
Until now, each Armed Force negotiated agreements separately, which created unequal conditions. With the new proposal, the system is unified and already includes 200 companies, with the expectation of surpassing 1,000 firms in the coming months.
"We seek to strengthen the benefits system and sit down as a bloc. This program reflects the virtuous union between the public and private sectors", emphasized Facundo Quiroga, general director of Institutional Relations at Defense.

Teachers and students of military training institutes.

Which sectors are covered by "Military Family"
The range of benefits is broad and will be applied gradually:
Food and supermarkets: discounts at national chains, wholesale markets, and neighborhood stores.
Clothing and home: wholesale-equivalent prices on clothing, footwear, bookstores, and technological equipment.
Tourism and transportation: discounted rates on land, river, and air tickets, as well as agreements with hotels and military vacation complexes.
Health and wellness: discounts at pharmacies, optical stores, private medical services, and gyms.
Education: reductions in tuition and fees at universities, institutes, and language courses.
Technology and telecommunications: discounts on mobile phone plans, internet, and the purchase of electronic devices.
Other services: insurance, banks, tickets to shows, summer camps, and agreements with automotive companies.

Digital implementation and secure validation
The system will operate with a digital validator that will confirm each beneficiary's eligibility through their national ID, without businesses accessing the uniformed personnel database. This ensures privacy and simplified access.
"Military Family" constitutes, according to official sources, "a public policy that organizes and turns into everyday reality the social recognition of the Defense community", without representing a budgetary expenditure for the State.
