By U.S. ArmySeptember 30, 2015

What is it?

The Fort Family Outreach and Support Center (FFOSC), or simply, "Fort Family," is the critically important component in the suite of programs and services established by Army Reserve Family Programs. Fort Family is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year at 1-866-345-8248 or www.arfp.org. When a Soldier, Family member, command team member or Army Reserve Civilian connects with Fort Family they receive thoughtful, clear and concise assistance from a caring, knowledgeable professional providing a direct bridge to the program or service needed. And they always follow up to make sure the resources met the individual's need.
