“Family Readiness” is
the state soldiers, spouses and family members proactively
prepare for, and in which they
are able to cope with mobilization, deployments and prolonged
separations. To prepare, soldiers-both active and reserve components-
and their families attend classes and receive written instructional
materials on subjects such as how to prepare a will, how to establish
and manage a household budget, how to communicate with children
of various ages, and how to maintain communication with the rear
detachment of the deployed unit.

Army Family Action Plan is an Army-wide program that allows
all members of the Army (active duty, retired military, family
members and civilian employees) the opportunity to voice concerns
and voice issues to installation and Army leadership. Here
is your opportunity to make a difference in the Army quality
of life for the Total Army Family. AFAP facilitates many positive
changes that enhance the Army Experience. Issues are generated
and collected from the Fort Campbell community and are addressed
at the annual installation conference. Issues that are not
resolved at Installation level are forwarded to MACOM and then
Department of Army for resolution. The program allows your
voice to be heard. Hours: Mon-Fri 0730-1630. Contact us at

Now that your soldier is in the Army
at Fort Campbell, he or she will be learning about the structure
of the Army and its traditions. Soldiers receive training that
will enable them to meet the many challenges of military service-rapid
deployment, field training exercises and other tasks involved
in carrying out the mission of the United States Army. They WILL
be well trained and therefore prepared for the next assignment,
whether overseas or within the continental United States!
What about YOU, the family member? How
will you get trained to help cope with the challenges of a military
lifestyle? How will you learn about military benefit, and about
facilities available to you? What is the commissary, PS, PCS
or an LES? These questions, and more, will be answered in Army
Family Team Building (AFTB) classes. AFTB is a program developed
BY family members FOR family members, a program that has been
developed just for you.
AFTB Classes provide basic training
for family members. The classes will answer questions you have
about Army life and provide information you need to help make
Army life and your Army experience great. Classes are short so
you can attend without taking too much time out of your busy
schedule. Classes are also held during the day and in the evening.
There are three levels and can be completed in as little as three
months.
The AFTB program is operated by family
member volunteers with the support of the installation commander
and the Community Activities Business Center. Call (270) 798-4800
for more information.

Community Service Outreach - click here to Contact Us
Deployment separates military families. Despite the challenge
of separation and the changes in your family structure, deployment
can be a positive experience. The key to this is planning The
Army Community Service (ACS) staff can provide the programs
and services necessary for soldiers and families to plan for
a successful
deployment.
To organize, you must plan for a deployment of three to twelve
months. The length of a deployment is dependent upon the mission
and the requirements of the operation. In case of war, plan for
one year regardless of what your orders read.
Remember it will work right-if
you have a plan. The Army Community Service staff is here to
help you, but you must run with the
ball. If you don’t, your family will be the ones to suffer
from lack of planning.
Hours: Mon.-Fri. 730AM - 430PM
