No,
They may have to make arrangements for someone to be a care giver or to watch over the child, But this would not be legal custody, merley an agreement to take care of that child if and while they had to be gone.

They have to provide a plan of action that specifies what will happen to the child (custody) in case they both deploy. Usually, the military will try to avoid deploying both parents at the same time, but it happens. A single parent in the military has to provide the same plan.

custody? No, BUT there must be a rock solid Family Care Plan in place.. both short term and Long term, whereby someone is delegated to provide care for the children.
I was the short term care giver for friends of ours.. I was the one who could take the baby on an hour's notice and care for him until his grandmother could make the plane trip to come get him and bring him back to her place.

Of course not. If both parents work the same civilian job, do they have to give custody of the child to someone?

No, but you will be required to set up an emergency family plan in case you were sent overseas. This can be done at your unit and they have people on hand to help with all the paperwork. I was 10yrs active and a single parent. God Bless you and your family and Thank you for serving.

No, they just have to have a dependent care plan stating who the child will reside with if they both get deployed. It happens often, but they don't have to give up their children.

no, just do a special power of attorney for someone else to take care of the children.

No. They usually leave them in care of their grandparents and give them power of attorney to manage their school and health.

usually they'll let one parent stay behind while the other one gets deployed, or at least that's what i've seen happen
