MCFTB » Family Readiness Program
As a Commander's communication tool, the Family Readiness Officer (FRO) supports the unit by keeping families of Marines better informed about the mission and tasks of that unit. Commanders utilize the FRO to relay official command information and to support families through resource referrals. The goal of the FRO is to help families achieve and maintain family readiness.
When Marines feel their families are supported, yet self-sufficient, they are better able to perform efficiently, effectively and safely. Support to families shall encompass Marines, spouses, children, and designated parents/extended family members of Marines. The FRO conducts proactive outreach, rapport development and multi-faceted communication efforts to facilitate meaningful two-way communication between the command and its Marines and families.
The FRO supports unit families by:
- Communicating official command information
- Acting as a communication link between the command and families
- Providing information through resource referrals
