The purpose of the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program (YRRP) is to provide support and resources for Soldiers and their Families to assist them in achieving a successful deployment cycle. This assistance is provided by creating experiences that coincide with each stage of the deployment journey.

Pre-Deployment, as Soldiers and families anticipate extended separation the focus is on being prepared and supported by ensuring awareness of vital information and resources to help throughout the deployment process.

During-Deployment, the experience during the deployment changes to one focused more on support and connectedness so that families don't feel they are enduring the deployment alone while also preparing them for the inevitable reintegration.

Post-Deployment, upon the Soldiers' return, the focus shifts to the reintegration of the Soldier to the family unit and assists them as they resume family life and normalize adjusted routines.
