ECRC provides support to IA and mobilizing sailors across all phases of mobilization and deployment.
ECRC functional capabilities are Mobilization Processing sites, Training Liaison detachments, COCOM Liaison detachments and Warrior Transition Program.
ECRC reserve units are organized to support mobilization. The rates included in those units are the same rates that are resident in the functional capabilities. Through a modular approach, the ECRC reserve personnel can be task organized to meet various mission sets.
(example - ECRC stood up monitoring sites for sailors returning from support to West African Ebola response. )

***The CIAC should be the first point of contact for the IA Sailor and their family if there are problems/questions/issues at anytime during their IA deployment.
***Contact your CIAC!
**every 60 days now & for 9 months after return**
IA are ACDU given TDY orders from parent command during their tour.
GSA are ACDU OFFICERS who volunteer for an IA thru their detailer. Then process thru ECRC by TEMADD or TDY orders. Do not return to Parent Command (Previous) but Parent Command does track and act as the CIAC
RC MOB: NOSC provides the CIAC services not the individual reserve unit

6. Routine Questions/Support
Family Support
Routine Questions/Support
1# resource is your CIAC
Know your Individual Deployment Support Specialist (IDSS) and your Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC) assigned in NFAAS for family
Verify NFAAS Information
ECRC Family Readiness
Family Support:
Emergencies use the ECRC 24/7 Support Hotline:
(877)
Make sure your family is able to log onto NFAAS this week! (username / password)
IDSS: IDSSs are designated Fleet and Family Service Center Staff, provide individualized support and assist with information and referral, homecoming briefs, and clinical counseling during a Sailor’s IA deployment cycle. 
CIAC vs IDSS: CIAC main purpose is to be command SME on all matters as they relate to the IA and prepare for deployment. IDSS assists the family with day to day issues that arise. Both have the capability to work closely together.
IDSS support continues 180 days post deployment

Ordinary leave charged to member, travel funded by gov’t, travel days not charged as leave
R&R generally taken mid-tour but can be taken any time after 60 days in theater/prior to 60 days from departure.
Eligibility: Must spend 12 or more months deployed to an authorized overseas R&R location (e.g., 365 days boots-on-ground (BOG).
Pre-deployment training, processing does not count towards R&R eligibility.
If BOG broken by leave or TDY >9 days away from R&R country, no longer eligible for HDP-T !!!
Cannot exceed 365 days TDY without USFF N1 or ASN waiver.

18. R&R Administrative Absence (Non-Chargeable R&R)
Non-Chargeable R&R (NCR&R) locations certified by OSD via memorandum every 2 years
Iraq and Afghanistan are the only currently authorized NCR&R locations
Eligibility criteria: 270 BOG/365 deployment orders
BOTH CRITERIA MUST BE MET, EXTEND BOG IF NEEDED TO GET TO 365 DEPLOYMENT ORDERS.
Up to 15 day administrative absence not charged as leave and does not affect Hardship Duty Pay-Tempo (HDP-T) counter
Just like regular R&R, travel is space-required, funded by government.

19. R&R Mitigation Strategy
If current orders render you INELIGIBLE and you desire to extend to become eligible, then…
Any extension requests to become eligible for R&R should be worked immediately upon arrival to theater by submitting a Volunteer Service Agreement (VSA) through CoC.
VSA must be submitted NLT 180 days prior to end of BOG (due to sourcing of next rotation). See MOB orders.
VSA will route via ECRC AO to USFF AO to PERS for ORDMOD if possible.
Contributing factors: backfill sourced yet, detailer/community manager/parent command input, etc.
