Deployment Cycle • Train up / Preparation • Normal training cycle • There is a daily routine • There is a normal
Deployment Cycle • Mobilization • 6 - 12 months till deployment • Training increases • Soldier is out of the home more • Last minute things • Reality sets in
Deployment Cycle • Deployment • Block leave • Last minute things • Beginning of a new normal • Departure dates change • Soldier leaves for the deployment
Deployment Cycle • Employment • The Soldier is in their new normal • The family is in new normal • Steady State • Some predictability returns
Deployment Cycle • Redeployment • Begins approximately 1 - 3 months prior to coming home • Anticipation • Nervousness • Transition again to a new normal
Deployment Cycle • Post Deployment • Rebuild a new normal • Rediscovery of the people you love
Deployment Cycle • Reconstitution • The new normal, a work in progress • This is a process and not a one time event
