A television special geared to address the challenges military families face with deployment

Toll Free Number 1-800-342-9647 The Department of Defense offers a 24/7 Military OneSource Call Center and website which provides military service and family member supportive information, community referrals, counseling, education materials, free webinars and other services. Additional phone numbers for those with disabilities are shown on the Military OneSource website. Beginning in October 2007, Military OneSource will offer a new telephonic consultation service especially for those who live in Europe.

MilitaryHOMEFRONT is the official Department of Defense web site for reliable Quality of Life information designed to help troops and their families, leaders and service providers. Special features include two new sections: Military Installations which provide point-of-contact information for support services and facilities for more than 250 military installations worldwide, and Plan My Move, a relocation tool that helps make moving easier. These two new tools replace the old SITES website.

The purpose of this site is to better enable the children of military personnel, their parents, special needs families, military leaders and educators to deal with the various issues that face the military child by providing each group with access to information, tools and resources from a central location. Ultimately, this site aims to enhance the educational and social well being of all military children by increasing the understanding and awareness of how to meet their unique needs.

This website is the result of a partnership between DoD Health Affairs and DoD Military Community & Family Policy. It provides official fact sheets and other user friendly resources about environmental, occupational and physical health issues related to deployment as well as family readiness information.
