Reserve Support Unit/Deployment Processing Command

Demobilization is a simple process here at Camp Talega and usually takes an average of about six days to complete, depending on the individual issues of the service member. As with the Mobilization page, this page is intended to give mobilized Marines and Sailors an idea of what to expect from the demobilization process.

It covers what to expect from the time that you receive your notification of demobilization from your Gaining Force Command (GFC) through to the end of your check-out of the Camp Pendleton DPC back to the civilian community.

The information is broken down into the following sections:

Preparatory Actions at GFC
Check-out Stations
Sample Schedule
TAP/TAMP and Pre-Separation Counseling

Preparatory Actions at GFC

In order to ensure that the individual is fully ready to demobilize, the following should be done at their GFC before arriving at DPC:

1. All Medical/Dental issues must be resolved before reporting in to the DPC. Member will arrive physically qualified for separation or approved Physical Evaluation Board findings allowing separation. Medical/Dental records will be in hand when reporting in.
2. Pay/ Per Diem problems handled before checking in for demobilization
3. A copy of all reporting orders and endorsements in hand that were issued during current mobilization.
4. SRB/OQR will be in hand when reporting in.
5. Complete all required Fitness Reports, Pro/Cons (Cpl and below), Awards, and Training information prior to reporting in.

Check-out stations

During the demobilization check-out process, you will go through many of the same stations that you went through during your mobilization process. These stations are:

1. Administration (ID Cards, Orders)
2. Pay/Travel
3. Medical/Dental
4. Out Briefs
5. Supply (if applicable)
6. Separations
