Georgia Air National Guard Family Readiness
 
Georgia Air National Guard Airman & Family Readiness Program
The Family Readiness Program provides a range of services to contribute to readiness and retention in the Air National Guard and to enhance the quality of life for all guard members, their families, and the communities in which they live. Family readiness encompasses more than just the preparation for their sponsor's deployment. It includes responsibility for preparing for natural disasters, evacuation of home incidental to disasters and accounting for personal, financial and legal affairs of their sponsor in the event of an emergency or fatality. Through involvement in the program and self-learning via online resources like www.guardfamily.org, The National Guard Bureau Family Program hopes to develop 21st century National Guard families into resilient, resourceful, and ready families.
 Major General Thomas R. Moore
Commander, Georgia Air National Guard
When I think of family, it not only includes my wife and children, but also the individuals that I work with, their family members and the community. As the Commander of the Georgia Air National Guard, I am committed to supporting the Georgia National Guard Family Readiness programs that allow us to take care of our own.
Homefront support is vital for our military members, allowing them to focus on the fight and know that family members at home are well taken care of. To do this we need our guard members and their family to be aware of the programs that are available thru the Family Readiness Office. These programs include much more than the preparation of sponsor's deployments. They also cover preparing for natural disasters, evacuation of home, accounting for personal, financial and legal affairs of sponsors in the event of an emergency or fatality.
I encourage each member and their family to become familiar and involved with their local programs. There are several volunteer opportunities for those wishing to get involved.
I feel the Family Readiness Program is vital to the success of the Georgia Air National Guard. Our family members deserve the best support possible. I stand ready to provide assistance to support our Air National Guard members and their family.
Very respectfully,
THOMAS R. MOORE, Maj Gen, GA ANG
Commander, Georgia Air National Guard
