Deployment Support

FFSC is here to support Commands, Sailors, and families with every element of deployment support. The following programs are available by request, and can be provided to commands or Family Readiness Groups/family events via one of our virtual platforms. Individual sessions are available to help prepare for and thrive during deployment & homecoming periods, using practical and emotional means & methods.

Additionally, Individual Deployment Support Specialists (IDSS) provide relative information and referral services, supporting the unique needs of the Individual Augmentee (IA) Sailor and their families throughout the IA deployment process.

The Ombudsman Program is an official Navy family readiness program designed to enhance mission readiness and resiliency and establish a sense of community. The Fleet and Family Support Center provides family support services, information/referral, and support to the Ombudsman Program.
