Mobilization & Deployment Support

Mobilization and Deployment Support Program (MDSP) serves as a cornerstone for community readiness, ensuring seamless transitions during unit deployments and effective responses to emergencies. We strategically align installation resources and programs with the cyclical demands of unit deployments, providing comprehensive support throughout the pre-deployment, deployment, and reintegration phases.

Our core services encompass:

  • Comprehensive Deployment Cycle Support: through tailored training modules, readily accessible resources, and adaptable delivery methods, we address the evolving needs from initial notification through post-deployment reintegration. Unit Commanders can directly engage with our program to schedule customized Deployment Cycle Training events for their personnel and families.
  • Emergency Family Assistance Center (EFAC) Operations: serving as the central point of contact and coordination during emergencies, the EFAC ensures consistent, accurate, and timely dissemination of critical information and provision of essential support services to affected Service Members, Civilians, and their Families.

Mobilization Resources

During and after a disaster strikes the ARC provides disaster relief in the form of shelter, food, water, health and mental health contacts, volunteers, emergency response vehicles and other essential services.
