Community Outreach and Deployment Awareness: Our team provides information workshops and presentations regarding available resources and services during periods of deployment. Briefings occur prior to deployment, mid-tour and a month prior to return addressing the topic of reintegration. Our new Family Readiness Program designed to help you and your family be ready for separation or emergencies regardless of whether you are actually impacted by deployment currently or not. We also produce a regular newsletter Op Keep In Touch, and Tour Times in our local newspaper.
