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.

Family Readiness Program Training is centered primarily on the formal training required for the Unit, Personal and Family Readiness Program (MCO 1754.9B). Classes are available for MCCS employees hired as Deployment Readiness Coordinators (DRC), active duty command appointed Uniformed Readiness Coordinators (URC), and family members interested in becoming more involved in their unit’s program as an appointed volunteer serving as a Family Readiness Command Team Advisor (FRCTA) or Family Readiness Assistant (FRA).
