“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.

and civilian employees) the opportunity to voice concerns and
voice issues to installation and Army leadership. Here is your

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.
Daytime classes are held monthly at
various locations. A daytime lunch is provided on the last day
of class compliments of First Command. Night classes are also
held monthly at the Lee Soldier & Family Support Center,
5661 Screaming Eagle Blvd. A "Night Owl" meal is provided
by Pioneer Services. Funded
childcare is available at Waters Child Development Center #1
(for day classes). You must pre-register for the classes in order
to have childcare provided.
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.

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.
