in many ways. Army Reserve Family Programs has also undergone a transformation
to meet the needs of increased mobilizations and the move to the Army Reserve
Expeditionary Force model.<BR><BR><B>What has the Army done?</B> As families

the need of Soldiers and their families in the future. The Family Programs
capabilities include:<BR><BR>* Program Management<BR>* Child and Youth
Services<BR>* Command Consultation and Support<BR>* Information, Referral and
Follow-up<BR>* Mobilization, Deployment and Reintegration<BR>* Marketing<BR>*
Crisis Response<BR>* Partnerships<BR>* Outreach<BR>* Training and
Development<BR>* Volunteer Management<BR><BR><B>What efforts does the Army plan
to continue in the future?</B> The Army Reserve Family Programs Division will
continue to enhance the online information portal, <A href="http://www.arfp.org"
target=_blank>www.arfp.org</A> to better serve the needs of the Soldier and
their family 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Family education and awareness
are major components of readiness. The portal was designed to provide a
comprehensive collection of the latest information and resources of interest to
families of Army Reserve Soldiers. The increasing number of visitors to the site
has demonstrated the value of the information being delivered via the
Internet.<BR><BR><B>Why is this important to the Army?</B> This program is a
force multiplier and retention tool through developing services and activities
that are relevant to today's Army Reserve Soldiers and their
families.<BR><BR>This topic of <B><A
