One thousand army personnel are based in Casino helping with the flood recovery.
A Facebook group was set by unit JTU629.1.8.
The group is a platform for the Casino community to post questions, photos and requests for Australian Defence Force assistance.
Provide a phone number with your request and the army will follow up or clarify any details with you.
You can call them at all hours on 0427 183 512.
This group isn’t only for Casino, residents in surrounding areas can put in a request for assistance.
The army have been in Woodburn and Coraki and helped out at the Rappville Pub.
To thank them, publican Lisa Stewart is putting on a barbecue for the ADF on Friday, March 18.
“We received their help loading more flood damaged items after they helped other homes in the village. This would had been a massive task without the initial first help from the local community and few weeks later, the ADF who have shown much compassion, are so respectful and a true representation of Australian spirit,” Lisa said.
