Yellow Ribbon Reintegration

Yellow Ribbon Program

The Air Force Reserve Command's Office of Deployment Cycle Support is charged with ensuring that deploying reservists and their families are well taken care of under the command's Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program.

The program requires that support and reintegration programs are provided in all phases of deployment. One provision of the program requires units to hold reintegration activities at 30-, 60- and 90-day intervals for all members who were mobilized or deployed for 90 days or more.

Key agencies for this program include Chaplain, Family Readiness, Financial Management, Legal Office, Services and Sexual Assault Response Coordinator.

Yellow Ribbon Program

Introduction to the 442nd Fighter Wing's Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program

The Air Force takes pride in its priority of taking care of Airmen. As the number of deployed personnel increases to keep pace with an accelerated operations tempo, taking care of Airmen becomes more critical than ever. And as a family of professionals, the 442nd Fighter Wing is especially dedicated to providing support and care to its deployed personnel.

The Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program is a comprehensive plan to inform and support deployers and their families - and employers - before, during and after a deployment. There are many resources available to Reservists and their families to take care of virtually any problem that may arise. From medical care to youth camps to parenting assistance, we want to make sure the our deployed personnel can focus on their mission without worrying about what's going on at home.
