What is Survivor Outreach Services?

Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) is an Army-wide program designed to provide dedicated support to survivors of deceased members of the armed forces. SOS standardizes casualty services and policies across the Army and provides additional staffing at Casualty Assistance Centers and Active Component and Reserve Component family programs. SOS responds to the need for specialized staff at Casualty Assistance Centers (CAC) to help Casualty Assistance Officers (CAO) support survivors, as well as adding additional staff who have the sole mission of providing continuing support to survivors.
