Financial management is a significant concern in the Armed Forces
primarily because of the unusual lifestyle that is so much a part of military
living. Dugway is an isolated installation where the service member
and his/her family must manage and plan financially for a variety of situations
such as fluctuations in pay, deployments, isolation and NOW involuntary &
voluntary separation. Whatever the situation, it is imperative that
individuals here at Dugway manage and plan their use of finances
appropriately. However, in case of financial emergencies, Dugway has
an Army Emergency Relief (AER) Section. We service a four state
area.
