Command Deployment Program

The Command Deployment Discipline Program (CDDP) combines policy and doctrinal deployment requirements under one program to enable commanders at all levels to maintain their organizations at their appropriate deployment readiness posture to meet Army mission requirements. The CDDP is outlined in Chapter 4 of Army Regulation AR 525-93 Army Deployment and Redeployment and is a tool for commanders to evaluate their unit's or their subordinate unit's deployment readiness annually. Under the CDDP, commanders can use their internal staff, request assistance, or incorporate as part of a Command Inspection Program to evaluate their units. The regulation includes a compilation of requirements that identifies the major tasks for the preparation and movement of equipment for a deployment. The intent of the requirements listings is to provide commanders with deployment readiness metrics which are listed in tables for various levels of command and installations.
