Mission Statement

The Retirement Services Office (RSO) is dedicated to supporting active-duty Soldiers, Retirees, survivors, and their Families from all branches of military service. Our mission is to provide expert guidance on military retirement rights, benefits, and entitlements, ensuring that those who served receive the support they deserve.

We offer comprehensive Pre-Retirement Orientations and Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) briefings to help Soldiers, and their Families make informed decisions about their future. These sessions are open to all eligible service members and their spouses.

Each year, Fort Sill proudly hosts a two-day Retiree Appreciation Day (RAD) event. This annual celebration honors our retired service members and provides valuable updates, resources, and networking opportunities for the entire military retiree community.

Whether you're preparing for retirement, navigating benefits, or seeking ongoing support, we invite you to call, write, or visit the RSO. Our team is here to assist you every step of the way.
