Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Family Readiness Group (FRG)?

A Family Readiness Group is an officially sanctioned organization of officer and enlisted personnel and their family members.  It can also include community leaders and employees.  FRGs use volunteers to provide information and comprises a support network for families and unit members during times of peace and during deployments.  FRGs are crucial, especially during deployments.  One of the most important components of an FRG is the relaying of information to families.

ANYONE who wants to volunteer and contribute their talents can be part of a FRG.

Individuals do not necessarily have to be in an FRG to reap the benefits, especially during times of deployments.  It is important to make sure the FRG has your information so that they may readily provide you with crucial information about upcoming events.

Through the FRG, families are encouraged to:

• Become self-reliant
• Prepare for military separation
• Support the military family member
• Learn how to access benefits and entitlements
• Use the AKO accounts for email communication
