Mobilization/Deployment Readiness

The Fort McCoy Family Readiness Group Advisors blend a little of Army Family Team Building, Operation READY and Army regulation 608-1 to present a positive platform in which to begin developing your Unit's Family Readiness Group.  Family Readiness Groups use the building block theory by beginning with a solid foundation and building upon it.
