Pre-Deployment
During this phase, units or individuals deploy from their respective installations into their designated assignment. As a deployed Service Member, you are performing your mission, but in the meantime, Families will be adjusting to the separation. Wherever possible, the during deployment phase is a good time to keep in touch through letters, phone calls, emails and social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. Family members will benefit from attending a during deployment event to receive coping tips, discuss reunion issues, and more.
