Very Seriously Injured – I will call you immediately. Your Soldier
will call you when your Soldier is able to. You may be able to visit
them in the hospital at Government expense.
Fatality
Unit will shut down communications Stateside until you are
notified.
SFC or above and a Chaplain will notify you personally.
A casualty assistance officer will call you, and then visit you,
to help you sort out the funeral arrangements, legal documents
and financial situations associated with this. This person is for
you until you tell them to stop.
If you desire, a unit „care team‟ will come to your home right
away to assist with children, visitors, errands during the first few
days.
In all cases, the Rear Detachment and FRG must know how to
reach you – even if you just take a weekend trip.
