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.
The Military & Family Readiness Center helps military and DoD personnel and their families to prepare for and cope with separation due to deployments, remote assignments, natural disasters, and evacuations. By addressing emotional, financial, legal, and family issues prior to these events, as well as providing support programs during times of separation, the Airman and Family Readiness Center can help service members and families balance quality of life and mission readiness needs more effectively.
Pre-Deployment Briefings
Pre-Deployment Processing (PDP) prepares active duty and civilian deployers deployment by teaching the emotional cycles of deployment, connecting with deployment support partners, family support services, legal briefing, medical intelligence clearance TRICARE and M&FRC programs. Spouses are encouraged to participate in these briefings as well. The PDP is designed to ensure deployer are taking the necessary steps to ensure their personal and work affairs are in order before they leave which reduces stress for the member and their family during the upcoming time of separation.

Hearts Apart Program
