Redeployment, Recovery, and Reconstitution
Pre-Deployment Training
Just-in-Time Training
Deploying Airmen receive just-in-time training on:
- Stress reactions
- Psychological first aid
- Referral resources
…through pre-deployment mental health training.
Continued Support
Continued Support Emphasized
While preparation, deployment, and post-deployment support are all important, receiving continued support upon return from deployment is an emphasized aspect of readiness.
Intent of the Process
Continuous Integrated Support
The intent of the ongoing redeployment support process is to provide continuous, integrated support from the deployed area to home station while assisting with the transition from the deployed environment to family life and worksite.
Post-Deployment Leave
Leave Beneficial
Taking leave after arduous duty and deployment can have a beneficial effect on an individual's:
- Psychological status
- Physical status
Recovery Period Purpose
An immediate recovery period allows returning Airmen to tend to personal needs neglected during lengthy periods away from home.
Structured Recovery When Needed
Structured Recovery Sometimes Required
Sometimes readjustment from deployment requires participation in structured recovery time and activities for members and families prior to leave.
