If you are single or dual military with dependent children, one of your most important decisions will be choosing the right person to care for your children while you're deployed or on temporary duty. Be sure to read Preparing a Family Care Plan and Choosing a Caregiver for Your Child While You're Deployed.
Once you have chosen a caregiver for your children, he or she will need to know about all of the services and support available from the military and Military OneSource. Make sure your caregiver gets a copy of When You're the Designated Family Caregiver for a Deployed Service Member along with your Family Care Plan.
