(1) An FRG is a private organization, closely-affiliated
with the command, comprised of family members, Sailors, and
civilians associated with the command and its personnel, who
support the flow of information, provide practical tools for
adjusting to Navy deployments and separations, and serve as a
link between the command and Sailors’ families. FRGs help plan,
coordinate and conduct informational, care-taking, morale-
building and social activities to enhance preparedness, command
mission readiness, and increase the resiliency and well-being of
Sailors and their families.
