If you should be deployed while assigned at Fort Knox, aside from
your unit FRG, there is the ACS Waiting Families Program. This
program is designed to provide your family member with great information, a
support network consisting of other waiting families, and to ensure they feel
just as important as when you were here. An assigned Waiting Spouse Consultant
will be contacting your family at minimum monthly to provide
information. ACS offers plenty of creative ways and training to keep
your family occupied should you leave.
The Mobilization & Deployment
Readiness Program conducts training for you and your family members using the
Operation R.E.A.D.Y. modules. Their assistance is before, during and
after deployment. We also encourage you to get involved with your
unit Family Readiness Group right away.
If you are PCSing on
a hardship or unaccompanied tour out of Fort Knox and have approval to leave
your family member in government housing here, we highly encourage you to
contact the ACS Waiting Families program. If your family will be
residing off-post during the separation, contact and let us know so that we may
able to reach out to them as well. If you need assistance, call 624-6291.
