The child should be returned to father during Mother's deployment unless there is some problem that prevents father from being the residential parent. Father needs to contact his attorney or any attorney in his area to file the necessary paperwork with the courts to seek custody during Mother's deployment.

One can not do a power of attorney on custody. Children are not property. See above.
