Useful FRG Links and Info

The Army Family Readiness Group Leaders Handbook: provides an overview of the Family Readiness Group (FRG); its purpose, structure, and function; command and member responsibilities; key leader job descriptions; and other aspects of building and leading effective FRGs. Its focus is on the essential ingredients and key tasks of effective FRGs and their importance in helping soldiers and families cope with the stresses of military life and in building cohesive families in the Army. In a very real sense, FRGs can help soldiers and their leaders with the military mission, too. This handbook explains how.

FRG Leader Forum: We are dedicated to those who serve our Army's Soldiers and Families through their FRG Leader role. The FRG Leader Community of Practice is an online forum BY and FOR those serving as an AFR Leader. This forum provides the opportunity to share new ideas and lessons learned to improve our leadership skills and our family readiness programs. The value of this forum comes from FRG Leaders connecting with each other and sharing their experiences and hard-earned knowledge.
