November 15, 2010 — Secretary of the Army John McHugh called the grand opening of Fort Meade’s Warrior in Transition Solider and Family Assistance Center facilities “a very unique achievement” during the ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 10.
McHugh, Installation Commander Daniel L. Thomas, Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, Rep. John Sarbanes and other distinguished guests cut the official ribbon on the $1.5 million project, which consists of two modular buildings that house the SFAC and Warrior Transition Unit administrative offices.
The facilities, located at 85th Medical Battalion Road, were funded through a public and private initiative led by the Fort Meade Alliance and the United Service Organization of Metropolitan Washington. The Alliance and the USO raised $135,000 in three months to provide furnishings for the SFAC.
The SFAC, in partnership with the Warrior Transition Unit at the Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center, coordinates resources and provides comprehensive services to Warriors and their families in an environment that fosters physical, mental and spiritual healing.
The WTU, which currently serves more than 170 Soldiers, helps them prepare to return to their units, reclassify to other military occupational specialties or transition to life outside of the military.
