Welcome!

Welcome to the Family Readiness Group of the 153rd Infantry Brigade of the Arkansas Army National Guard. Our goal is to help the families of service members meet the challenges of military life.

Our FRG is a voluntary organization created to help our members:

  • Communicate with each other and the military. Our FRG provides a forum for asking questions and expressing ideas and concerns.
  • Share the volunteer work and activities that make military life easier and more rewarding.
  • Support each other. People who understand military life are a source of strength and comfort to one another.

Who Can Belong to An FRG?

Anyone interested in the military and its members.

  • Spouses and children
  • Parents
  • Boyfriends and girlfriends
  • Friends and relatives
  • Retired service members – from all branches of the military
  • Members of the community who want to help military personnel
  • Service members themselves – of all ranks

Why is an FRG so Important?

During normal duty, an FRG forms a strong network of families and military personnel. This network helps prepare families for mobilization or deployment. During mobilization or deployment, the network helps support families. The FRG and the military work together to help families get what they need. Service members are better able to concentrate on their duties when they don’t have to worry about family members.

Volunteer Today!

  • Offer your time and talents. Everyone has skills to offer.
  • Attend meetings and activities regularly. Help our FRG become an even bigger success by staying involved.
  • Share ideas. The best way to make sure the FRG meets your needs is to let people know what you want. Remember – the FRG relies on its members for direction.
