The Deployment Cycle For service members and their families, deployments encompass more than the time spent at sea or in a foreign country. There is a cycle that begins long before the ship or unit departs, and it continues beyond homecoming. For the different warfare communities — aviation, submarine, surface, expeditionary and special forces — the cycle may be different, but the overall process is the same. The deployment cycle consists of four phases: pre-deployment, deployment, post-deployment and reintegration. You never return to the same deployment phase; you move forward. You learn, grow and change through your deployment experiences, making you more resilient and ready for the next deployment. Fleet & Family Support Centers (FFSCs) work closely with command triads and other command support teams to assist Sailors and family members with briefs and other activities to help with their deployment support needs. ► Pre-Deployment Phase Before deployment, commands and units go through additional training to prepare for their upcoming missions. There is an increased operations tempo (OPTEMPO) as equipment is tested and training intensifies. Service members may be gone for days or weeks at a time, returning home for brief periods before leaving again to continue training. This period, sometimes referred to as “workups,” can be stressful due to the uncertainty of the schedule. For families, this is the time to begin preparing for the longer separation of deployment.

The deployment phase begins with the departure of the ship or unit. Facing the extended separation can result in stress for both service members and their families. For service members, once the ship or unit has deployed, it becomes a time to focus on the mission at hand. For families, it is a time to adjust to the absence of their loved ones and develop a new “normal” for the duration of the deployment. ► Post-Deployment Phase Once the ship or unit has returned, there is a brief respite before a return to normal duties. Service members may be able to take leave during this time, but it is important to remember that leave is determined by the needs of the command. There may also be opportunities for service members to attend training, as needed. ► Reintegration Phase The final phase of the deployment cycle. During this time, service members adjust to being home with loved ones and return to their customary routines and activities. This time can be stressful for some service members and family members as everyone adjusts to being together again. If you are feeling stressed or anxious and need help for dealing with any phase of the deployment cycle, please contact your local Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) for assistance.
