JCCC
Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC)
The Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC) formed on 11 April 2005 to provide, for the first time, a joint casualty and compassionate reporting centre for the Armed Forces. The JCCC, part of the Armed Forces Personnel Administration Agency, is based at RAF Innsworth in Gloucestershire. The JCCC is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Previously casualty and compassionate casework was managed on a single-Service basis by the RN at Portsmouth, the Army at Upavon and the RAF at Innsworth, whilst the Army Personnel Centre in Glasgow carried out deceased estates casework on a tri-service basis. In view of the increasingly joint nature of operations and looking ahead to the advent of Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) it was decided to form the JCCC to provide a single focus for all casualty and compassionate casework to simplify reporting procedures.
