PRE-DEPLOYMENT

As a member of an active duty unit with potential for world-wide deployment on short notice, the following information will aid in making a family separation more manageable. Plan ahead. This is one of the keys to a successful family separation.

There are many things you can do before you leave.  The more you can learn and accomplish before the family separation, the more confident both of you will be when the parting time comes.  This page is designed to provide relevant information that can assist you prior to deployment.

Remember, Plan Ahead!
