Our main purpose is to give back to our community.  We hold many comunity service events throughout the year to help us accomplish that goal.  We also hold a candlelight vigil for POW’s and MIA's every year on Veterans' Day. We are a non-profit organization, and any money we raise throughout the year we donate to a chosen charity. 

The Arnold Air Society is a professional, honorary service organization advocating the support of aerospace power. The “service” aspect is perhaps the foremost in the mind of many members, because of the society’s continuing contributions to our campuses, our communities, and our corps–but it should always be remembered that our primary mission is to improve ourselves as future Air Force officers.

The following three objectives were adopted by AAS to enhance the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) and the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), and to project the image of the United States Air Force on the university campus and in the surrounding community.

First Objective:

To create a more efficient relationship among Air Force officer candidates, in particular within the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. To provide opportunities for a greater interaction among collegiate level Air Force officer candidates and to encourage increased communication with Air Force officers and leaders in national defense, government, and industry.

Second Objective:

To aid in the development of effective Air Force officers.  To provide more opportunities for Air Force officer candidates to exercise leadership, management, organizational, and public relations skills.

Third Objective:

To further the purpose, traditions, and concepts of the United States Air Force. To provide opportunities for officer candidates to participate in campus and community service activities, demonstrating the close relationship between civilian and military institutions.
