Family Readiness and Support
The Georgia Army National Guard values the support and contributions of our families across
the state. Family Programs not only benefit service members and their families,
but also have a positive impact on a unit's morale and readiness.
Our Mission:
° To help bond Guard families together and promote a sense of comradeship.
° To relay vital information from the Adjutant General and the Family Readiness Program
in order to lessen the feeling of isolation and convey the Director's concerns for
the well being of Guard families.
° To aid Guard families in better understanding the mission of the ARNG.
° To keep Guard families informed about activities sponsored by the Adjutant General
and/or the Family Readiness Program.
° To provide an avenue for Guard families to share some of the common rewards,
or tensions and frustrations of military life.

Operation Child Care - Free to National Guard and Reserve Soldiers
Posted: 30 October 2004 (By Beth Reece; Soldiers Magazine)
The National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies has launched Operation Child Care. The
program offers free care for the children of National Guard and Reserve Soldiers returning for two weeks of
rest-and-recuperation leave from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Child-care providers who meet state and local child-care regulations will provide four or more hours of free
child care, so that Soldiers can attend to family business or take their spouses out on dates. Operation Child
Care was designed for Guard and Reserve Soldiers because they don’t typically have access to the military family
support programs available to active-duty personnel.
Guard and Reserve Soldiers with leave orders can access Operation Child Care services by calling NACCRRA’s
national Child Care Aware hotline at (800) 424-2246, or by visiting its Web site. Soldiers will be connected to
their local child care resource and referral agency, then linked to participating child-care providers.
Visit the Web site at: www.ChildCareAware.org.
