Open Around the Clock to Serve You

The CIVMAR Support Center is available to our CIVMARs and their families 24/7. If you or your family members need assistance ashore or while deployed, the CIVMAR Support Center should be your first call. Customer service representatives are able to assist with questions regarding benefits, promotions, training, and travel and pay as well a host of other topics. If the CSC representative is unable to answer your specific needs, the call will be forwarded to a Subject Matter Expert who will help you find your answers.
