ARMY EMERGENCY RELIEF
Army Emergency Relief is dedicated to assisting service members, retirees, survivors, and their Families with emergency financial assistance. The AER program can help with emergency travel, prevention of eviction, first month's rent and security deposit, emergency food needs, auto repair, and emergency medical and dental expenses. The program provides interest free loans and grants to members of the military community with valid emergency needs. The AER program is run by funds provided by the contributions from service members and the community. In addition to emergency assistance, AER offers scholarships to Soldier Family members.

ARMY FAMILY TEAM BUILDING
Army Family Team Building helps individuals adapt to Army Life by providing information about the resources available to Soldiers and Army Family members.

Workshops and classes are scheduled on a monthly basis. This training prepares everyone in America's Army to function at his or her highest level, in any situation, with minimal outside support. The training improves personal and Family preparedness, which enhances overall Army readiness. Child care is available with advance registration provided that children are registered with Child, Youth and School Services.

AFTB also offers customized classes for individual units, Family Readiness Groups and organizations on an individual basis. The AFTB office is conveniently located in the Army Community Service building in the Pine Plains Complex.

AFTB also coordinates the Army Family Action Plan, an Army-wide program designed to give a voice to the military community as a whole. Targeted forums on various community topics are held throughout the year, in addition to an annual installation forum. These forums help to identify and resolve issues in the Fort Drum community. Many issues can be resolved at the local level. Issues of command or Army wide interest are sent on to higher levels.
