CARE RESPONSE TEAM (CRT)
TRAININGCaring for our families during their darkest hours of need….
The concept behind CRT teams is to provide a team of caring and trained volunteers that can immediately “be there” for a spouse and
family after notification of a death or serious injury.
CRT volunteers are carefully screened and selected by the Rear Detachment Commanders. General criteria include: Maturity,
Life Experience, Emotional Stability, Discreetness, Availability (upon need). Volunteers are trained to provide a wide range of
assistance, from emotional support to basic, simple tasks (screening calls and visitors, caring for children/pets, minor housekeeping, etc.)
that may be difficult for the family to focus on during this time.
CRT teams convey a critical message to the spouse and family… that people care…. that the Army cares.
