Soldier and Family Assistance Center Construction Nearing Milestone at Joint Base Lewis-McChord

A major construction project at Joint Base Lewis-McChord is nearing a milestone, and it’s intended to assist some of the soldiers who need the most help.

On Tuesday, crews will erect the final structural beam in the new Soldier and Family Assistance Center/Warrior Transition Battalion (SFAC/WTB) administration building.

The new SFAC/WTB administration building is being constructed adjacent to the 408-soldier WTB barracks facility that was opened in August.

When finished the administration building will complete the SFAC/WTB complex, ensuring WTB Soldiers have increased access to their leadership, resources and advocates.  The SFAC and the WTB deliver essential leadership and services to the WTB Soldiers, their Families, and/or their caregivers to facilitate the physical, spiritual and emotional healing of the men and women who are ill, injured, or wounded.  The SFAC partners with the WTB to serve as a one-stop shop for services to meet the unique needs of WTB Soldiers and their Families as they heal and prepare to transition back to their military career or into the civilian workforce.
