Fort Sill is one of those post that deploy in large
numbers.
Our Deployment or Mobilization Programs maintains close
communication with the Soldiers and families through the pre-departure process,
during the deployment period and upon return of the Soldier, when it provides
Reunion Training to all the returning troops and their families.
During
the deployment period, our Family Assistance Center (FAC) is activated and
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in order to offer assistance to waiting
families.
Be certain that your spouse and older children are aware of
your financial system: bills, checkbook, lock boxes, bonds,
insurance, etc. Be sure that all ID cards are valid. Check
the automobile your spouse will be using to be sure it is in good repair, that
all registrations and licenses are current, and that family members know where
they are. You may want to check into getting a power of attorney for your
spouse.
The whole Army Community Service supports all the deployment
programs throughout the installation, including the rear detatchment, and
chaplains.
