Become a Casualty Officer
Rendering a notification or providing assistance to Survivors is one of the most difficult and yet one of the most honorable services a Soldier can perform. The OKARNG Casualty Operations Office maintains a roster of Soldiers throughout the state who have volunteered themselves and stand ready to support Survivors.
Soldier selected for this responsibility must meet certain requirements, most notably:
· Staff Sergeant or above for Enlisted Soldiers
· Chief Warrant Officer 2 or above for Warrant Officers
· Captain or above for Commissioned Officers
· Training and certification as Casualty Officers through a three-day course
· Demonstrate care, compassion, commitment, and concern
The OKARNG Casualty Operations Office conducts training quarterly with a focus on ARNG Soldiers, but will also provide training and certification for US Army Reserve and Active Component Soldiers as well.
Please contact the Casualty Operations Officer above for more information on training to be a Casualty Notification/Assistance Officer.
