Morale, Well-Being, and Recreation (MWR) Morale, Well-Being, and Recreation (MWR) programs are an integral part of the military pay and benefits package. They ensure high quality and consistent community support for service members and their families. Find your local MWR Office for more information on DoD Lodging and related travel. Space-A Travel Military planes (and planes contracted by the military) have mission assignments throughout the world and often offer empty seats to eligible passengers. For service members and their families, traveling Space Available (Space-A) on military flights can be a great benefit, but you have to be flexible. Military flights are unpredictable and subject to delays and cancellations.

Some of these benefits may be utilized while on active duty. These benefits are codified in Title 38 of the United States Code.
