The Relocation Readiness Program (RRP) touches the lives of over 4,000 transitioning soldiers and family members each year. In 2011 Bamberg’s RRP sustained a 100% satisfaction rating in 5000 customer contacts and successfully provided over 400 briefings and classes for family members and soldiers targeted at reducing some aspect of adaption stress and relocation anxiety. The RRP office is located in room #117 of the ACS Building (#7029) between the Health Clinic and JFK Gym. Major services include:
