About Family Readiness:Family Readiness is a Commanders Program intended to foster a sense of well-being and increase the family readiness of the unit. Unit Commanders establish their Family Readiness Program by appointing a Family Readiness Group (FRG) Leader. The purpose of the FRG is to allow Guard members and their Families an opportunity to offer one another mutual support, outreach services, and official information. State Family Programs offers training and support services to Command chains, FRG volunteers, and TXMF Families to improve TXMF Family Readiness and increase their abilities to be self sustaining through all phases of deployments and state emergencies.
