That UPL must bring an entire packet (orders, background check, privacy act statement, competency statement and a unit SOP) as well as proof of certification from the previous post (the certificate and UPL card).

UPLs returning from deployment, whose certification expired during deployment and the expiration date exceeds 60 days will be required to repeat the 40 hours certification course. Otherwise, they may recertify as indicated above.

UPL Deployment Shipping – Designated to provide UPLs information on deployment testing procedures to include document preparation, packing, shipping, and the results notification process.
