The Terra Firma Deployed Family Network is for friends and families who are supporting military members away from home due to deployment or other work-related absences.

When you join a Family Network, you will receive important updates on deployments and work-related absences, information on social activities, and have the opportunity to connect with others going through the same experience.

Register with us to receive deployment and work-related absence support by becoming a part of your Family Network, connecting with the MFRC local to you, and/or receiving support in French.
