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 family readiness program assists with all stages of deployment, mobilization, separations, local or national emergencies, disasters and evacuations. The Kadena Airman and Family Readiness Center’s readiness non-commissioned officer and staff provide preparation information, education and guidance aimed at optimally preparing military members and their families for deployments and extended temporary duty assignments. Services include pre-deployment briefings, child care, monthly social events and other programs offered to assist families while their loved ones are away.
