As Chief of the Army Reserve, Army Reserve Soldiers are my number one priority. As such, I fully support the efforts of Army Reserve Family Programs to implement programs and processes to improve support for all Family Programs customers.
Army Reserve Soldiers and their families must realize that times have changed. Soldiers have an obligation to ensure their families are prepared to endure military separation; and they must understand the benefit and entitlement changes that take effect upon mobilization. Army Reserve Family Programs has the educational tools available to enhance awareness of these changes in an effort to improve family readiness.
