The Marine Corps is in the process of taking a family readiness program away from paid civilians and placing its responsibilities in the hands of Marines, a service spokesperson confirmed to Military.com on Thursday.
The Unit, Personal and Family Readiness Program, or UPFRP, was originally developed in 2007 to keep up with constant deployments during the Global War on Terrorism, according to a service message from 2018, and was designed to provide support for service members and their families during the deployments and other challenges that come with military life.
