Mobilization & Deployment

Managing DeploymentMobilization & Deployment is focused on MISSION READINESS. Education is the best prevention, if we provide our families with the survival tools, we will increase their ability to deal effectively with the various situations that may arise as part of military life. We believe in helping them to help themselves by offering a variety of support services ranging from pre-deployment assessment through tips on a successful reunion. If Soldiers know their families are prepared, have effective survival and coping skills, and have the support services readily available for them, then they can focus on the military mission.

Soldier Readiness + Family Readiness = Mission Readiness

We strive to ensure centralized and fully coordinated effort between unit rear detachment, families and community services during all phases of a deployment cycle, during routine training exercises and when Soldiers are in garrison.
