Which program supports Army family readiness groups and related programs?

• A. Army Family Readiness Group (AFRG)
• B. Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP)
• C. Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS)
• D. Center for the Army Profession and Leadership (CAPL)

Answer: (A)

The program that directly backs Army family readiness groups and related initiatives is the Army Family Readiness Group (AFRG) program. This program provides the structure, guidance, and resources FRGs need to operate effectively—training FRG leaders, coordinating with installations, and ensuring families have access to information and support during deployments and everyday Army life. In essence, AFRG is designed to sustain and enhance the connection between soldiers, their families, and the Army.

The other programs serve different purposes: the Army Substance Abuse Program focuses on preventing and treating substance abuse; the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System manages eligibility for benefits and services; and the Center for the Army Profession and Leadership concentrates on professional development and leadership. None of these are primarily aimed at supporting family readiness groups.
