Work-Related Absence

Work-related absence (WRA) encompasses a range of situations, including deployment, temporary duty (TDY), and frequent interval separations. Each work-related absence can vary, especially when stationed OUTCAN. Ensure the success of each phase by staying prepared and informed. 

Although deployments may look a tad different for Canadians, Military OneSource has a plethora of information for service members and their loved ones that you have access to while posted OUTCAN. 

Here, you’ll find task checklists, resources, and articles to help you prepare for all phases of the deployment cycle. The information is organized in three phases: pre-deployment, deployment, and reunion and reintegration. Think of this as your deployment how-to guide.



CAF members who are posted to Tinker, Oklahoma, or JBER, Alaska, and are assigned to an AWACS Squadron are the most likely to experience deployments while in the US. If you find yourself in this situation, please contact your local MFS Provider for information on the services available to you and your loved ones in these locations (AlaskaOklahoma).
