The Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) Checklist is an official U.S. Army document. It ensures that military and non-military personnel are prepared for their deployment duties.
Legal Authority
The form is authorized by the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Secretary of the Army. It is based on the Department of the Army Deployment Cycle Support Directive. Completing it is voluntary but required to confirm deployability status.
Seven Deployment Phases
The checklist covers all seven phases of the deployment cycle: pre-deployment, mobilization, deployment, employment, redeployment, post-deployment, and reconstitution. Each phase requires a separate readiness evaluation.
Validation Process
Validating the form requires three steps. The individual confirms their information is accurate. The immediate supervisor authenticates it. A commanding officer gives final acknowledgment.
