Military & Family Readiness

Here you will find details about Military & Family Readiness programs, support services, local resources, and key contacts supporting the 163d Attack Wing community.

Programs

The Wing Military & Family Readiness Program enhances mission readiness, resilience, and quality of life for Airmen, families, and leadership through integrated support services, education, resource coordination, and community partnerships.

As we are an Air National Guard Wing, the program supports the unique needs of traditional drill-status members, AGRs, technicians, Title 5 civilians, retirees, veterans, and geographically dispersed families balancing military service, civilian careers, and family responsibilities.

The Military & Family Readiness Program serves as a readiness-focused program office supporting Airmen, families, and leadership across the wing while strengthening individual, family, and mission readiness in support of the 163d Attack Wing mission.

DEPLOYMENT SUPPORT

The Military & Family Readiness Program provides deployment readiness and reintegration support for Airmen and families throughout the deployment cycle. Services include pre/post deployment support briefings, dependent support, resource coordination, Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program events, and DoD Transition Assistance Program (TAP) coordination for qualifying deployers.

TRANSITION ASSISTANCE / RETIREMENT / ETS

The Military & Family Readiness Program assists transitioning service members, retirees, and separating personnel through transition-related resource coordination and referrals. Services include coordination of active-duty DoD TAP workshops, CalVet benefits seminar coordination, transition and retirement resource referrals.

Newcomers

The Military & Family Readiness Program supports newcomers and newly assigned personnel through orientation support, installation resource briefings, financial readiness coordination for first duty station Airmen, and M&FR in/out processing support for Basic Military Training and Technical School students.

Volunteer Program

The Commander’s Key Support Liaison Program (CKSL) strengthens communication and connectedness between unit leadership, Airmen, and families. Military & Family Readiness provides CKSL training, guidance, and program support to help foster resilient and informed unit communities.

CHILDCARE

Our installation offers free home childcare during drill weekends for eligible Air National Guard members who live, work, or are assigned here. This program supports Reservists and Guard members during training periods when no other adult in the household is available to provide care. To check eligibility requirements or to apply, please contact the installation Childcare POC.
