I have recently been placed in PDS (PROFIS Deployment System) for an upcoming deployment. This will be my first time being "PROFIS" so I'm not sure how things work. I haven't been given any info from my home station and am kind of wondering what my time line might be. Any info or experience you could share would be great. Thank you for your time

I'm not a medic but maybe this would help if you haven't seen it already

Try to find someone else who has done this job or someone in a different unit doing the job as ask them questions.

It all depends on the unit you are profis to and where they are in their cycle. Ask the profis manager for unit contact information or if they are tracking any exercises or deployments coming up for that unit.

It depends. I have had to work to get the TCS orders for folks in our unit a few times already. We go through our Solider Support Center and have been told not to submit the TCS worksheet NET 60 days out. Once the worksheet has been submitted the turnaround was a few days.

Have you checked https://mobcop.army.mil/ for your TCS orders? This is where they will populate once they are posted. If you must process through Fort Bliss CRC prior to deployment you may not see TCS orders until you are at Fort Bliss as they will be considered the deploying installation.
