The Unit, Personal, and Family Readiness Program (UPFRP) is a unit centric program, guided by the Family Readiness Command Team that reinforces the relationship between the unit and the services relevant to the unit, the unit members, and their families. The primary goal of UPFRP is to empower Marines and family members, providing them the opportunities to not just survive but to thrive while taking on the challenges of the military lifestyle.
Readiness & Deployment Support educates and prepares military members and their families to cope with the challenges of all types of deployments and family separations including the Command team members and Deployment Readiness Coordinator who will guide families and Marines through deployments.
WHAT’S FAMILY READINESS?
“Family readiness is defined as families who are prepared and equipped with the skills and tools to successfully meet the challenges of the military lifestyle.”
Family readiness is equally important as combat or mission readiness.
WHAT IS A MARINE’S FAMILY?
A Marine’s Family is defined as being all the designated members of a Marine’s Family. A Marine has three Families: the one they are “Born Into”, “Sworn into” and “Married Into.”
WHAT’S A UNIFORMED READINESS COORDINATOR (URC)?
The URC is the face of the Commanding Officer’s vision for family readiness and will provide direct coordination for the Unit Family Readiness Program.
