The SLAC 3km linear electron accelerator has been reconfigured to provide a beam of electrons to the new FACET facility while simultaneously providing an electron beam to the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). FACET is a new experimental facility constructed in the linac tunnel that can transport, compress, and focus electron bunches to support a variety of accelerator R&D experiments. In this paper, we describe our first experiences with the operation of the linac for this new facility.
