Welcome to the Air Force Reserve Command Yellow Ribbon Program

Helping maintain resiliency during all stages of deployment is paramount to the morale and welfare of our Airmen and families. The Air Force Reserve Yellow Ribbon Program is a series of events designed to provide members and families with essential resources prior to departure (pre-deployment), a level of stability and support while deployed (during deployment), and successful re-integration techniques after the deployment cycle ends (post deployment).

Tap our resources to learn about all of the benefits available to you, how you can participate, and the invaluable impact Yellow Ribbon in the lives of thousands of fellow reservist and their families. For more information on the Department of  Defense Yellow Ribbon Reintegration program check out their website.
