Military and Family Support Center Deployment and Readiness Support
The MFSC provides deployment support before, during, and after the deployment cycle for deploying Service Members and Families of deployed (about to deploy/recently returned) Airmen/Remote Tour/Frequently TDY Airmen and IA Sailors. The MFSC offers classes, programs, and briefs designed to address all aspects of deployment as well as one-on-one counseling services.
Readiness Event Calendar

Any others must attend the monthly brief at 647 LRS, bldg. 2115.
