The most valuable resource to the Marine Corps is the individual Marine and their family. Personal and family readiness is a combat multiplier, equally important as individual and family readiness. Achieving a high state of individual and family readiness supports the Marines and their families in successfully balancing the challenges of the military lifestyle, family, career, and mission events.
The primary duty of the Family Readiness Program is to serve as a communication portal between the commander, the unit, the Marine, and the Marine's family members.
