| Opplysninger | The U.S. Army's 2019 policy update to Family Readiness Groups (FRGs) aims to increase readiness and resilience among Army families. Through this update, the Army renamed FRGs to Soldier and Family Readiness Groups (SFRGs) to emphasize the inclusion of soldiers, as well as family members; deemphasized the role of volunteers in favor of newly established Command Family Readiness Representatives (CFRRs); and shifted the focus of group activities from socialization to communication. The Army asked RAND Arroyo Center to help determine the degree to which policy updates were successfully implemented across Army installations and how they were received by Army families. The authors of this report found that awareness of the SFRG policy change is not widespread among Army spouses and that aspects of the program could be improved if the Army minimized logistical issues with access, provided resources for leadership training, and incorporated a method of measurement for SFRG performance indicators. Their findings, however, also suggest that effective SFRGs can foster engagement in the Army community among leadership, soldiers, and families. Overall, the updated Army policy indicates support for these groups and emphasizes important group functions, such as information-sharing. But the lack of clarity in policy guidance on areas with an important influence on mission success could prove a barrier to achieving the outcomes for which the Army aims.
