Deployment Transition Center: Unwind, then go home Story and photos by Airman 1st Class Jordan Lazaro 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs The Deployment Transition Center has helped more than 20,000 redeployers “return strong” since 2010. The program assists the transition from deployed environments back to home life, and provides critical reintegration skills and decompression opportunities for redeployers. The DTC recently surpassed 20,000 redeployers who have made this their first stop before returning home. Redeployers is a term used for members who are deployed to one location and will deploy to Ramstein prior to their return home. “Upon arrival redeployers have the opportunity to talk about their deployment. The conversation starts from the day they were notified of deployment to where they are right now,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Michelle Rodriguez, 86th Mission See DTC, Page 3
The Deployment Transition Center’s team waits outside the passenger terminal at Ramstein Air Base, May 3. The team greets arriving redeployers and helps with their luggage before transitioning to the DTC for a facility tour and welcome brief.
