    Kids, Teachers learn Deployment Ops

    Military life can be difficult at times, especially when family members deploy for long periods of time. It can also be a challenge to find a way to explain the deployment process to younger loved ones and educators. Like many other bases, Team Dover hosts an annual event to educate military children and their teachers. At Dover AFB, this event is called Kids/Teachers Understanding Deployment Operations. The event is designed to simulate processing for an overseas deployment while also showcasing several Air Force career fields and how they contribute overall to Dover AFB. The main objective of KUDOS/TUDOS is for school-age children and teachers to experience what Airmen go through to get ready for supporting a deployment.
