The Community Information, Referral and Follow-Up Program provides Fort Carson Commanders, Soldiers, and Families with information regarding community resources. Also known as I&R, it is the initial point of contact at the Army Community Service (ACS) Center. Staff links customers with on-post or off-post agencies and services. If you are new or it's been a while since you've been in to visit ACS, come meet with us to complete an assessment form; it helps us to provide you with more specific types of services and programs. We look forward to meeting you.
Client Intake & Assessment
If you are new to Army Community Service (ACS), Fort Carson, or you would like to get information about different resources to meet your needs, we will have you fill out a client intake form and sit down with one of our ACS Specialist for an assessment to go over more specific types of services and programs that will meet your needs and help improve your quality
Client Intake at Unit Footprint
Ideally suited for units who have seen an increase is negative trends (financial issues, relationship issues, etc.) with their Soldiers and Families, and units that will be going into a deployment, NTC/JRTC Rotation, or field training. Our ACS specialists give an ACS overview brief and provide a client intake form to assess the needs of Soldiers and their Families and support with referral management.
Client Service Advocacy
If you are in need of a liaison for a service, our ACS Specialists will work closely with you and the service provider to communicate and come to a mutual understanding. ACS Specialists monitor and evaluate delivery of services and client responses.

The Information, Referral, and Follow-up team help you navigate through the different classes ACS has to offer. They provide an overview, time, location, and sign you up for any classes that you may want to take. If needed, they will provide you an ACS Memorandum of Enrollment.
