MRC Federal Deployment

Office of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps Deployment Operations focus on issues related to Federal deployment of MRC members. Our task is to develop procedures that will be used to deploy willing, able, and approved MRC volunteers outside their local jurisdiction as part of the Federal response to large-scale national emergencies. The goal is to ensure that MRC members who deploy are fully and seamlessly integrated as part of the Federal response for public health and medical disasters.

Reporting Local Deployment Activities

As MRC units could possibly be called into service at any given moment within their own community, it is important to stress the need to provide accurate and up-to-date information about your unit’s activities. The Office of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps (OCVMRC) uses this information to promote understanding of the MRC concept and raise awareness of the MRC network amongst senior leaders and other stakeholders. By regularly reporting your activities, you help others to realize the true scope of MRC activities and increase the credibility of the MRC network. See Reporting Local Deployment Activities for more information.
