Mobilization and Deployment

Deployment isn’t easy. We provide training and publications to help commanders, Soldiers and Families navigate the challenges of mobilization and deployment. We also have resources for rear detachment cadre and Soldier and Family Readiness Group (SFRG) leaders.

Relocation Readiness

“We’re moving AGAIN?” Military Families move a lot, and those frequent moves bring challenges and stress. Relocation Readiness assistance helps with counseling, sponsorship, pre-arrival information, temporary loan of basic household items, and many other services.

SHARP

Be the force behind the fight. Sexual harassment and sexual assault have no place in the Armed Forces. You have a voice, you have rights and we’re here to help.
