9 As service members continue to train and deploy in defense of our nation’s freedom, the demands to provide operational support and training have become an essential part of their individual readiness. The Fort Bliss Army Community Service Mobilization and Deployment program is charged with meeting these operational demands and preparing Soldiers, civilians and families for challenges that may arise throughout each phase of military missions. Mobilization and Deployment Supervisor Deanna Garcia credits her team for “standing by, and always being ready to support, before, during and after a deployment.” “Support doesn’t just start when orders are issued. Our team stays prepared and ready at all times…as the deployment gets closer and the tempo picks up, so does the stress,” she said. “We’re here to get the resources out immediately by working with our units and support groups.”
