Retiree Affairs Office

Retiree Affairs offices are made up of volunteers from all services including surviving spouses. Their charter is to coordinate, establish and staff an office on an active-duty, reserve or guard installation through command channels that will assist retirees with myriad actions. These actions include: serving as an information center for space-available travel, Tricare, installation services, etc; offering referrals for financial-assistance and pay matters; counseling active-duty service members nearing retirement; and providing literature on retirement issues.

Another major activity involves working with base agencies to set up Retiree Appreciation Day events offering flu shots, briefings by different agencies on respective services, tax preparation and advice, staff judge advocate assistance, installation tours, etc.

The mission statement for our office :

Fort McCoy Lower Michigan Retiree Affairs Office Mission

With the support of the U. S. Army Garrison - Detroit Arsenal and the Selfridge Air National Guard Base, the Retiree Affairs Office (RAO) mission is to render support and assistance to military retirees, their spouses, and/or their caregivers.
