Contact information for key programs and services at this installation.
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.
Commander, Navy Region Southwest San Diego and the Fleet and Family Support Center offer programs to heighten deployment preparedness and support families and commands throughout each phase of the deployment cycle. FFSC deployment consultants offer deployment readiness briefs and checklists to assist sailors and families preparing for deployment. For more information, visit the Deployment Support website or contact Naval Base San Diego’s FFSC at 619-556-7404.
Deployment support programs are tailored to meet the needs of an individual command.
Ombudsman program
Navy family ombudsmen are communication links, information and referral resources and advocates for command family members. Appointed by the commanding officer, command ombudsmen are volunteers and spouses of service members within the command. As an official command representative, the ombudsman is a confidential point of contact for all family members connected to the command, including spouses, parents and extended family members. The CNRSW FFSC ombudsman coordinator maintains a roster of all area ombudsmen. Contact your nearest FFSC to obtain the contact information for your command ombudsman.
