Which statement about Military and Family Readiness Center's deployment briefings is inaccurate?

• A. Pre-deployment briefings are optional for individuals with a firm deployment tasking of 30 or more days.
• B. Pre-deployment briefings are mandatory for those with deployment tasking.
• C. Deployment briefings cover available resources and entitlements.
• D. Deployment briefings prepare families for possible changes.

Answer: (A)

Pre-deployment briefings are required whenever there is deployment tasking; the duration of the deployment isn’t a factor that makes attendance optional. The statement about being optional for those with a firm deployment tasking of 30 or more days isn’t accurate because the briefing is mandatory for anyone with deployment tasking, regardless of how long the deployment is. The purpose of these briefings is to make sure service members and their families know what resources and entitlements are available and to prepare them for possible changes that may come with deployment. So deployment briefings do cover available resources and entitlements and they help families anticipate changes, which is why the other statements are correct.
