Financial Readiness and Army Emergency Relief
Financial Readiness offers a wide range of services to individual soldiers and to units. For the individual, assistance is available for preparing detailed budgets or in developing strategies for improved financial stability.
Soldiers who are anticipating a PCS move, a deployment, marriage, or who are expecting a baby could benefit from the various classes that are offered monthly.
For those who are experiencing or anticipate financial difficulties, we recommend class attendance, individual counseling, or applying for assistance from Army Emergency Relief, depending on the severity of the situation.
