Family Assistance Center

The Family Assistance Center (FAC) was formed to assist families of Soldiers with needs which arise while the Soldier is deployed.  A FAC is an Information Source for a variety of services for the Soldier and their family before, during and following a deployment. FAC staff members are trained to listen and to provide the best possible resources for any issues which may arise to include TriCare & DEERS issues, pay & financial issues, communication, emergency assistance, mentor Family Readiness Groups and much more! Do not, for any reason, hesitate to call if you need help. When you contact a FAC for assistance, keep in mind that the FAC staff is bound by confidentiality. All information that is provided to the FAC concerning an issue remains with the FAC.
