A family readiness group (FRG) is an organization of Family Members (both immediate and extended such as mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, etc.), Volunteers, and Soldiers, as well as others interested in the welfare of a service member (i.e., fiancees, retirees, etc.). The FRG provides an avenue of mutual support and assistance, and network of communication among family members, the Chain of Command, and community resources.
The objectives of the FRG and this SOP are:
- To welcome and orient all new and incoming spouses and family members within 2 weeks, to the military community and FRG.
- To support the FRG through activities, fundraisers, and expenditures.
- To encourage all family members to seek assistance from the group regarding any matter, thus promoting a caring and supportive environment.
- To provide cohesiveness among all members in an attempt to increase readiness and assure deployed soldiers that the needs of their family will be met during the Soldiers absence.
- To help family members know where to look for information and help.
