The Retiree Activities Office at Hanscom provides information, services and programs to military retirees -- all ranks, all services. The RAO mission is to: act as an interface between the active-duty and retired communities; keep retirees updated on various matters; provide information and services as necessary or appropriate; and to represent retired members at the base and Air Force level. The RAO also provides whatever assistance is requested by the Installation Commander in achieving the base mission.
