Deployment Support

Deployment can be a challenging phase of the military lifecycle, but it’s important to know that you don’t have to go through it alone. The military provides a variety of resources and support programs — ranging from educational briefings to morale calls — for your loved ones, children and service members to ease the stress of deployment. Military members may be assigned to a specific installation but support may come from local communities, Yellow Ribbon events or the installation itself.

Deployment Support Programs

Deployment concerns are addressed within the Readiness Program at the local Airman & Family Readiness Center (BLDG 205). The deployment support program provides information on hurricane preparation, coping with deployment related stressors, and managing reintegration expectations. Pre and post deployment briefings are provided to deployers and families as needed.

Eglin Family Readiness Program

The Eglin Family Readiness Program within the Airman & Family Readiness Center provides both pre-deployment and post deployment briefings and offers the "Hearts Apart" program for deployed military members and their families.

The Hearts Apart (HAP) program hosts social events for families of deployed members to connect with other families. Additionally, the HAP partners with the Air Force Aid Society in providing FREE childcare opportunities and oil changes for families while their loved ones are deployed.

Key elements of the "Hearts Apart" Program

“Give Parents a Break” - FREE temporary child care program
“Car Care Because We Care” - FREE oil change for spouses
Events for spouses - social gatherings/network opportunities/recognition ceremonies
Access to Military Family Life Counseling program (MFLC) to ease transition of the family when the deployment cycle starts - FREE counseling

Other sources for FREE counseling are also available to ease the family when the member returns from deployment.

Call the Eglin Airman & Family Readiness Center at 850-882-9060 for additional information.
