Buckley Retiree Activities Office
The Buckley SFB military Retiree Activities Office (RAO) exists to provide support to over 28,000 military retirees and spouses or widows of military retirees in northern Colorado. We provide support to military retirees from all Services, not just the Air Force. RAO staff can help retirees/surviving spouses with questions and/or problems they have related to their military service and/or military related benefits. We typically assist with issues such as DEERS/ID cards, casualty assistance, Gray Area Guard/Reserve retirement filing, Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP), TRICARE/Medicare, the Veterans Administration (VA), retired pay, military records, wills, powers of attorney, prescriptions, base services, etc. While our main customer base is military retirees, we are also happy to assist any veterans with less than 20 years of service who have issues related to their military service time and/or military related benefits.
The Buckley Retiree Activities Office is currently located in Room 104 of Bldg. 606. Inside the main door take a left then the first hallway on your right.
The RAO Director is continually recruiting dedicated personnel with a military background who would like to join our staff of those of us who are "Still Serving".
