Location Detail

The goal of the Family Readiness Program is to provide resource information and training in addition to support services to enhance a Marine's personal and family readiness. The Family Readiness Program assists commands by offering training and education in developing successful and effective Unit Personal and Family Readiness Programs (UPFRP).

The UPFRP provides the needed support and guidance at the unit level around the Marine Corps. As each unit is different, each program varies slightly in how it supports the identified family and friends of the personnel attached to that unit. To find out about your UPFRP, visit the unit website or contact the Unit Deployment Readiness Coordinator/Uniformed Readiness Coordinator.
