Marine Corps Family Team Building [MCFTB] provides standardized Family Readiness Program Training.

The Marine Corps’ most valuable asset is the individual Marine and their family. The Unit Family Readiness Program will educate and empower both Marines and families members to achieve and maintain a high state of personal readiness and resiliency in response to life, career, and mission events by providing the information, tools, and resources to empower them to take care of themselves and successfully balance the challenges of a military lifestyle.

The mission of the Unit Family Readiness Program is to train and prepare Marines and families to ensure optimum resiliency when faced with life cycle events.  When every Marine and family in a unit reaches the optimum level of resiliency, a high state of personal and family readiness will result thereby ensuring the unit’s high state of readiness.  The Unit Family Readiness Program shall provide support through proactive outreach and intervention in the form of the following functions: Official Communication; Information and Referral; and Marine and Family Readiness and Deployment Support (RDS).

The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James Amos, and his wife Bonnie want to talk to all Marines and their families. They highlight the need to have ready families as well as ready Marines. This is the first video in an ongoing series.

In order to support Unit Family Readiness, the staff here at MCAGCC Twentynine Palms provides the following classes:
