Mobilization and Deployment Readiness Program

The Mobilization, Deployment, & Stability Support Operations Program provides training intervention to Soldiers, civilians, and Family members. The purpose is to maintain individual readiness throughout the Sustainable Readiness Model. Our mission is to dispense a training, knowledge and guidance that can assist Soldiers, civilians, and their families in sustaining individual readiness throughout the entire cycle. Deployments, separations, and reintegration can be challenging. It’s a part of the military life that can bring stressful situations to Soldiers, Civilians, and their Families. The Mobilization and Deployment program is a great resource that provides guidance, training, and other life skill resources that are available throughout their military careers and affiliations.

The Mobilization and Deployment Readiness team tailor trainings to provide information and resources to Soldiers, civilians, and families to advocate resiliency. Trainings currently offered include: SFRG trainings (SFRG Essentials for Commander & 1SG, SFRG foundation, CFRR, SFRG Key Contact and SFRG Fund Custodian). CARE team training is offered by request. Trainings to help families and Soldiers cope with the challenges of deployment can also be provided to the unit by request.
