Which deployment process allows Airmen to deploy with supervisors and other members assigned to their unit and base?

The Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) teaming process is designed specifically to enable Airmen to deploy alongside their supervisors and unit members. This deployment model emphasizes the importance of unit cohesion and support, allowing teams to operate effectively by maintaining established working relationships. When Airmen deploy together as part of the AEF, they can leverage their familiarity with one another’s skills, experience, and operational procedures, which enhances readiness and morale during deployments.

The other processes, while important in the overall deployment framework, do not focus as specifically on the unit-based deployment model. For instance, Predictability refers to establishing a reliable cycle for deployment and dwell time but does not guarantee that individuals will deploy with those from their unit. Deployment-to-dwell (D2D) addresses balancing deployment and non-deployment periods but does not specifically cater to unit cohesion during deployments. Mission capability (MISCAP) reporting involves assessing and communicating the capabilities of a unit but does not influence the deployment of personnel in a unit-centric manner.

Thus, the AEF teaming approach effectively serves the goal of deploying Airmen together with their immediate team, fostering a structured and supportive environment that is crucial for mission success.
