Emergencies may happen while you are enroute. Contact
the nearest Air Force Aid Society (AFAS) office or the American Red Cross (ARC).
AFAS representatives are found on any Air Force base or can be reached through
any DOD service relief agency. The ARC phone numbers can be found in
the white pages of the local phone directory.
Hand carry your important
papers including your orders, passports, traveler's checks, and medical
records. DO NOT ship these in your household goods or pack in your
luggage. Write down phone numbers and your travel
plans. Give a copy to your sponsor, your relatives, your gaining unit
orderly room, or your losing unit orderly room. Contact your next
duty station command section (first sergeant or commander) for advice and
assistance. See Major Unit Listing for phone numbers. The Air Force Aid Society
or the American Red Cross should be contacted for family emergencies. Also,
contact your gaining unit first sergeant or commander.
