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." (Quote by General Conway, 34th CMC Planning
Guidance)

The new Unit Family Readiness Program and Marine Corps Community Services will help Marines successfully execute their missions by providing state-of-the-art 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 Advisor.

MCFTB has regularly scheduled Family Readiness Assistant/Advisor training as well as Family Readiness Officer (FRO) Training. We will facilitate Command Team Training at the request of the command. Please contact Rae Kerrigan for more information or to register @ 757-445-6875 or kerriganrn@usmc-mccs.org. All childcare associated with MCFTB training is reimbursed.
