In addition, military members also have access to their unit’s Commander’s Support Staff (CSS) to assist with military personnel functions. Our mission is to ensure that every service member receives the support they need to excel in their duties and advance in their careers.

DEERs Enrollment

Family Status Update (Marriage, divorce, widowed, birth, adoption)

The Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database contains information for each Uniformed Service member (Active Duty, retired, or a member of a Reserve Component), US-sponsored foreign military, DoD and Uniformed Services civilians, other personnel as directed by the DoD (including the patient population serviced through the Military Health Services System), and their eligible family members. DEERS registration is required for TRICARE eligibility and enrollment. Incorrect information in the DEERS database can cause problems with TRICARE claims as well as other health care benefits, so it is critical to maintain your DEERS information.

Required Forms of ID

Sponsor must be present or spouse must have a valid Power of Attorney.
Proper identification is required for all transactions. To be issued any ID card, 2 forms of unexpired identification are required for adults, one of which must be a current photo ID.
