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.
The Unit, Personal & Family Readiness Program (MCO 1754.9B) educates and empowers Marines, Sailors, and family members through training and workshops to achieve and maintain readiness and resiliency in response to mission, life, and career events unique to the military lifestyle. This is achieved through the UPFRP tenets: official communication, readiness & resource support, deployment support, and volunteer management. The UPFRP also acts as the installation volunteer coordinator where they are able to provide all current volunteer opportunities both on and off the installation to all base patrons. The volunteer coordinator provides training classes to interested volunteers, and effectively prepares them to explore their volunteer career in a variety of areas
