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.
Mob/Dep is designed to support active and reserve component soldiers and their families. Guidance and assistance to Family Readiness Groups, rear detachment personnel, and families are provided. All activities promote self-development, self-reliance and resiliency during times of mobilization and deployment and foster teamwork in Solder and Family Readiness Groups. Pre-Deployment Briefings, a major function of Deployment/Mobilization Readiness, are conducted prior to unit departure and handbooks are provided to soldiers and their family members. Homecoming and Reunion orientation and training are coordinated with subject matter experts. Coping with Separation training is highly recommended and available for spouses experiencing extended periods of separation deployment, NTC, TDY, etc.
Soldier and Family Readiness Groups
The Soldier and Family Readiness Group is a command sponsored organization of family members, volunteers, soldiers, and civilian employees belonging to a unit, that together provide an avenue of mutual support and assistance and a network of communications among the family members, the chain of command, chain of concern, and community resources. SFRGs help create a climate of mutual support within the unit and community. Basic SFRG goals include supporting the military mission through provision of support, outreach, and information to family members. SFRGs play an integral part in the Family and Soldier Readiness System. SFRGs are required to be registered with ACS, with lists of points of contact. These lists are to be updated annually, or as changes occur.
SFRG Training Topics covered include:
SFRG Essentials for CDR/1SG'S
