my wife is in the Army and has a good chance of being deployed. I am the home parent and taking care of the kids, 3 & 9. I am putting together a deployment readiness folder and need a checklist or list of docs, both military and civilian that will be needed if we move out of the country. I am new to this so army life , so please dumb it down a bit :)
 
Are possibly PCSing overseas or is she deploying? If you are going together to a place like Germany or Japan then that is a PCS. If just she is going with her unit then it is a deployment.

For either you will should have several copies of your birth certificates (yours, your spouse & childrens), marriage certificate, SSN cards.

You should also get POA - Power of Attorneys that can be done through JAG on base. For things like moving into Housing (both military and PPV), filing for putting things into or take out of storage, to ship a vehicle overseas, to buy a car, to replace a missing ID card, getting a passport for the children, leaving the country with the children....

Make sure you ID card will not expire while she is deployed

Have copies of all medical records and dental records at home

Have Tourist Passports for all of you and make a copy of the #'s
