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.
