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.
The Military and Family Support Center plays a key role in assisting service members and families before, during, and after deployment plus return and reunion support. The program is designed to help service members and their families successfully manage the challenges of deployment (separation and deployment) by helping them to better anticipate and understand the associated physical and emotional demand.
Call the Center at 301-319-4087 to find out what we have to offer or to speak with the Individual Deployment Support Specialist.
Military and Family Support Center conducts pre-deployment briefings monthly. In preparing for deployment, focus is on emotional, legal, financial preparation as well as resources and support services.

Deployment Reunion and Reintegration workshops and post-deployment briefings are held at the Military and Family Support Center. The returning member and family are debriefed by a panel consisting of the following agencies:
Return and reunion briefings are conducted monthly. Contact Military and Family Support Center at 9045 Beale Road, Building 11, Room 111 by calling 301-319-4087 or sending an email.
Deployment readiness is a priority for Commands, Service Members and their Families. Major changes in one's life, such as deployment, can cause an individual to feel that events are out of his/her control. Recognizing that deployments are an inevitable part of military life, Military and Family Support Center, working in concert with Command Leadership, Family Readiness Groups and Ombudsmen, act as the safety net and provide the necessary information and practical skills that allow active duty and family members to cope with deployment challenges.
