This is intended for youth 12 years and older.

If you are reading this, then you probably have a loved one who will be going away, or being deployed. Teen Deployment Classes are just a way to give you some 411 to help you prepare for your Soldier to go away. You will get a lot of information....but don’t worry, you do not have to remember it all. There are other Teens out there just like you, that are not going through this now, but that have gone through this before and are willing to help you.

You do not have to go in any specific order, and you don’t have to finish this all at one time. You can take breaks, but remember where you were so you can come back later. You may want to jot down a few notes as well.

Because everyone has lots of questions (from your Soldier and your family), we have tried to answer some of the most common questions. We might not have addressed everything that could be going through your mind, so if at any time during this briefing (or after), send us an email at arcys@usar.army.mil or just click on "Feedback" link at the bottom of every page. To view a schedule or register for an upcoming teen deployment class, go to www.arfp.org/registerTDC.
