Services > Family Readiness

The mission of the Family Readiness Program is to support families and units before, during and after a deployment. Missions for the National Guard have increased 300% since the 1991 Gulf War. It is critical that EVERY unit has an active Family Readiness Program established BEFORE deployment. MPSC is actively providing assistance to Family Program Directors throughout the country in accomplishing the objectives for the Family Readiness Program.

The 1985 Military Family Act was the first legislation to address the importance of military families, and it created the Office of Family Policy, which has significantly enriched family programs. MPSC employees are managing and assisting Family Assistance Centers and unit leadership providing the best possible support to our nations dedicated National Guard Family.
