Content Intro

Deployment Support Overview

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.

Subtopics

Deployments are an inevitable part of military life. Despite the challenges of separation and change, deployments can be managed. Information, planning and skill building are the keys to managing the deployment. Working with Command Leadership, the Family Readiness Group (FRG) and Ombudsmen, FFSC helps to provide the necessary information and practical skills that allow service members and family members to cope with deployment challenges. Some of these include:

  • Pre-Deployment Brief -- covers topics such as the emotional cycles of deployment, financial management, children's reactions, combat stress and inventory of important documents.
  • Mid -Deployment Brief -- is designed for spouses and children to assist with the ups and downs of a deployment. Topics could be on a variety of issues such as stress management, parenting issues, holiday blues, communication concerns, and financial management.
  • Return & Reunion -- FFSC teams ride the ships back to their homeport and present such topics as Returning to Children, Reestablishing Intimacy, a variety of financial programs, combat and operational stress awareness, Conflict Management and Communication Skills.
  • Homecoming Brief -- Prepares command family members for the homecoming of their service members. Topics can include reestablishing intimacy, managing expectations, changes and children's' reactions.

Children and Deployment

Fleet & Family can provide age-appropriate materials for children whose parent is deploying. These materials are given out during the Pre-Deployment Brief or during one-on-one consultations with our Deployment Specialists. FFSC Hampton Roads have puppet show geared to helping young children identify and relate to their feelings of concern, anxiety, and other emotions or questions they may have about their parent's deployment.

Individual Augmentee Support

With the current demands and need for support for the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), service members may be selected to serve as Individual Augmentees. Contact FFSC Oceana, 757-433-2912 for information regarding resources, support groups, and any other questions you might have.
