If you experience a financial emergency while in transit, and you
are not near a military installation, you can receive assistance from your
nearest American Red Cross chapter. If you are near a military base
you should contact their emergency relief office, either Army Emergency Relief,
Air Force Aid Society, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, or the Coast Guard
Mutual Aid Society. See FINANCIAL PREPAREDNESS for more
information.
If you are prevented from arriving within the time frame
allotted on your orders or for difficulties other than financial, you should
contact Headquarters Battalion or the Officer of the Day.For emergency
assistance your first contact should be your chain of command. If you
are unable or unwilling to contact the chain of command, Personal Services may
be able to assist you with crisis intervention or appropriate referral
services. After regular duty hours contact the Officer of the
Day.
