Alpha for Forces is simply the classic Alpha course adapted to suit service life. The Alpha course is being run in the Forces by chaplaincy teams and servicemen and women in the UK and around the world, as well as within the armed forces of many countries around the world. Many local churches positioned nearby military bases can also play a vital role with speaking, leading or helping on courses on the base.

Courses can vary in length depending on time constraints, but most Alpha for Forces courses are between six and ten weeks long. Each session will consists of three elements:

1. A social time, preferably with food
2. A talk about a subject central to the Christian faith
3. Small group discussions
