Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Army Emergency Relief (AER) provides financial assistance in emergency situations to all active duty Soldiers, retired military personnel and their Families. Assistance is provided on a case-by-case basis, common examples include: non-receipt of pay and allowances, emergency transportation and vehicle repair, initial rent and deposits, threat of eviction, essential utilities, deprivation, emergency medical or dental treatments and other emergency circumstances.

To apply for AER assistance, Soldiers need to obtain an AER application from their unit chain of command: AER Form 600 for a Commander's Referral (Active duty Soldiers only) or AER Form 700 for all other AER requests. Upon completion, the application must be signed by the unit commander or first sergeant (if acting as commander, assumption of command orders is needed). Family members of Soldiers who are overseas should go through the unit rear detachment to obtain assistance. They will need a power of attorney or the sponsor's verified authorization to obtain an AER loan. All applicants must show a valid military ID card, the latest leave and earnings statement, proof of a financial emergency and additional documentation as needed. A checklist of the documentation required may be obtained in person.

The Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is designed to improve the quality of life for the total Army Family. AFAP facilitates change to enhance the total Army experience. The program encourages issues and concerns that affect the total Army quality of life to be heard by our leadership. The AFAP forums and annual conference are held to review and address local concerns and larger Army issues. The annual conference is held in the fall. Issues not resolved at the installation level are then forwarded to Forces Command and the Department of Army for resolution. Soldiers, Family members, retirees and civilians are all welcome to participate. Volunteers are always needed. For more information, contact the AFAP Program Manager.
