The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is currently in the preliminary design phase at Michigan State University (MSU). FRIB consists of a driver linac for the acceleration of heavy ion beams, followed by a fragmentation target station and a ReAccelerating facility (RεA). While FRIB is expected to start commissioning in 2017, the first stage of RεA called ReA3 is already under commissioning and was coupled to the Coupled Cyclotron Facility in 2012. Once FRIB is completed RεA will continue operation as post-accelerator facility for FRIB. RεA consists of a gas stopper, an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) charge state booster, a room temperature radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ), a LINAC using superconducting quarter wave resonators, and an achromatic beam transport and distribution line to a new experimental area. An overview of the facility will be discussed. In particular, this talk will focus on the technical progress and commissioning results using pilot beams from the off-line ion source and charge bred beams from the online EBIT injector.
