New Jersey Family Assistance Centers (FACs) provide assistance in the form of information and referrals for service members, veterans, retirees, and families from all branches of service: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserves. FACs are available in times of contingency call-up, mobilization, and large scaled deployment. The primary mission of a FAC is to inform and support families before, during, and after a deployment so service members can perform their mission. During times of activation, the FAC is designed to be a focal point for families to obtain information and assistance with referral to the appropriate service agencies and meet the needs that are associated with deployment.
