Resources for the Stages of Deployment

Pre-Deployment

This can be a stressful time for you and your Family. Having a loved one mobilize or deploy means shifting roles and changing responsibilities while trying to maintain a stable family life. Mobilization, Deployment, & SSO will assist units and their Families in preparing for deployment with specialized briefs at Unit Town Halls, FRG meetings, and with one-on-one support as needed. Please call to schedule any of these resources.

Additional support can be found through our classes:

 

On a personal level ACS offers classes and resources through our other programs that can help in preparing for deployment:

 

Army One Source "Taking Care of Business" pre-deployment videos explore which forms and which documents would be used to ensure that a Soldier's Family and loved ones would be taken care of if the worst should happen.

 

With Plan My Deployment, you can access planning tools, checklists and helpful tips to help de-stress your deployment. Create a unique checklist for the pre-deployment, homecoming and reintegration stages that contains only the information you and your Family need to successfully navigate the process.

 

Getting prepared for deployments is hard, but preparations for worse case scenarios will serve you, your Family and your unit well. 

Deployment

Whether this is your first deployment or one of many separations, ACS is here to assist you.

Mobilization & Deployment can assist in trauma or incident briefs at the request of a unit or Chaplain. Contact us to schedule any of these resources.

 

Staying involved is important for Family members. Ways that ACS can help are:

 

As part of the deployment phase you will be adjusting to increased responsibilities and the absence of your Soldier. Support at Fort Carson for this adjustment is available through:

 

To contact your deployed Soldier for medical or emergecy situations, reach out to the American Red Cross.

Sustainment

During the sustainment phase you are now half way through the deployment cycle. Routines have been established and you are finding your footing in the deployment. However, this can also be a time where you are feeling the absence of your Soldier and are struggling to juggle all the roles you have taken on.

Isolation can be a large contributor to feeling overwhelmed. ACS provides many opportunities to connect with others:

 

For financial emergency support Army Emergency Relief is available.

Pre-Reunion

With the anticipation of reunion being near, this can be a complicated time for you.  Be patient and keep expectations reasonable. Take advantage of all available resources that Army Community Service has to offer:

 

Reintegration training is available for all redeploying units and Family members are encouraged to attend. Contact us to set up training for your unit.

Reintegration Training University is also available on-line for individual re-deployers

Post-Deployment

Although this is the most exciting time for Families during the deployment cycle, the re-negotiation of roles can impact everyone differently. ACS classes and resouces can help smooth this transition:

 

If you are now preparing for your next PCS move check out our PCS 101 class or the Destination Overseas class.

 

ACS Helps You Be Prepared 

Regardless of what role you play, ACS is here to support your needs during deployments, mobilizations and large scale emergencies.

The center will be open regularly-scheduled hours. If the need is determined, the EFAC will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As needs change, so will the operating hours. For assistance after-hours, contact the 4th Infantry Division Staff Duty Officer (SDO) numbers at +1(719)526-3400, +1(719)526-5500 or 24/7 +1(719)526-5613.
