Family Readiness Program

" Marines take care of their own - period. The enduring pledge between Marines is never more sacred than during time of war. Just as every Marine makes a commitment to the Corps when they earn the title Marine, the Corps makes an enduring commitment to every Marine - and an enduring commitment to their family." -- General Conway, 34th CMC Planning  Guidance

The Unit Family Readiness Program and Marine Corps Community Services will help Marines successfully execute their missions by training, resources and technology.

Your Unit Family Readiness Program will:

• Communicate official command information
• Facilitate two-way communication between the command, Marines and families
• Provide information through resource referrals
• Provide readiness and deployment support to all members of a Marine's family, those they were born into, sworn into and married into

Your unit's Family Readiness Command Team will be led by the Commanding Officer, who is responsible for providing guidance and support to Marines and their families. Members of the Family Readiness Command Team Leadership include: The Sergeant Major, the Family Readiness Officer, the Chaplain, senior spouses and a Family Readiness Assistant.

MCFTB has regularly scheduled Family Readiness Assistant trainings as well as Family Readiness Officer (FRO) Training. We will facilitate Command Team Training at the request of the command. Please contact Tracy Gould for more information @ 757-445-6875 or gouldtf@usmc-mccs.org. All childcare associated with MCFTB trainings are reimbursed.
