no. how many times are you going to ask a variation on this question? It is the servicemembers' responsibility to provide for their children's needs while TAD/TDY or deployed. The military will not assume responsibility at all. Therefore, all dual military and single parents must have a Family Care Plan in effect at all times.

No. If you have children (regardless of whether they have special needs or not) you must have a short-term and a long-term care provider lined up for your children AT ALL TIMES, just in case you get deployed or have to go into the field for any reason. If you're married and your spouse is not in the military, your spouse is automatically your short-term and long-term care provider. If you're a single parent, or if your spouse is also military, you should name someone you trust who lives close by to be your short-term care provider (and you need to go to the legal office and get a power of attorney for that person to take care of your children). That person can also be the long-term care provider, but most people in the Air Force name a family member as the long-term care provider (and you'll also need to do a power of attorney for THAT person to take care of your children). IMPORTANT: Murphy's Law dictates that you will have a problem if you need someone to take care of your children, so you should name a primary and an alternate short-term provider AND a primary and an alternate long-term provider, and make sure each one of them has a current power of attorney giving them the authority to take care of your children.

Just as the answers to your other questions about this topic are the same, so it is in the case of all the Armed Forces.
Parents who deploy must have arrangements made in advance to place their children with family/guardians when the parents get deployed.
None of the US Armed Forces have special barracks, hotels, centers or any other place to temporarily care for dependent children of the military.

No, the military's only concern is you. What you do as far as marriage and children are your concern and your responsibility. Your best bet if you have a child with some sort of problem is to get family to take care of them. Look at it from their side, you volunteered to do whatever they ask of you and they'll take care of you. Your child didn't sign anything and it is not an open contract with the ability to change.
