DEPLOYMENT

Welcome to the Ohio Department of Public Safety Deployment page. From this page you will be able to access sites that will help you in the deployment process. "Throughout our history, the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States have placed the security of our Nation before their own safety... At this important time in the history of freedom, a new generation of Americans is defending our flag and our liberty. These men and women...demonstrate that the United States Armed Forces remain the greatest force for freedom in human history." - Presidential Memorial Day Proclamation, May 16, 2006. Being called to duty can be a wrenching experience -- for the spouse and family as well as for the servicemember. Having a loved one mobilized or deployed means shifting roles and changing responsibilities while maintaining a stable family life. This page is intended to provide valuable links that will assist you during this time.
