DEPLOYMENT SUPPORT

The Air Force is dedicated to ensuring the needs of Airmen, Guardians, Civilians, and their families are identified and addressed through all phases of a deployment. To assist Commanders in this effort, Military & Family Readiness Centers (M&FRCs) are responsible for providing pre-deployment readiness briefings, deployment education and support to Airmen, and their families at all phases of the deployment cycle.

The Air Force Chief of Staff’s priority to accelerate change and transition the force drives the Military and Family Division’s (AFPC/DPFF) mission to provide unequaled operational support to Military & Family Readiness Centers, offering programs and services to Airmen, Guardians, Civilians, and their families.  The division provides oversight of deployment support operations offered by each installation’s M&FRC Readiness Non-Commissioned Officer (RNCO) and deployment support subject matter experts.

Each M&FRC provides support services to help Airmen, Guardians, Civilians, and their family members, meet the challenges associated with all phases of a deployment. Deployment-related programs deliver information, support, and assistance, which foster competencies and coping skills to help deal with mission demands and family responsibilities.  M&FRC services help reduce the stress of the military life cycle, increase morale and unit cohesion, and support operational and family readiness.
