The document outlines the Command, Personnel, and Family Readiness Program (CPFRP). The CPFRP aims to ensure personal and family readiness to support operational readiness. It recognizes that individual Sailors and their families are the most valuable resources, and that personal/family readiness directly impacts mission success. The CPFRP mission is to train and prepare every Sailor and family to ensure optimal resiliency during all phases. Commanders are responsible for implementing the CPFRP to maintain a high state of personal and family readiness across their command.

1. Chapter 1
Command, Personnel, and Family Readiness Program
1. Purpose. This chapter provides detailed information on the
concepts, mission, and operation/execution of the CPFRP.
2. Concept
a. Our most valuable resources are the individual Sailor and
their family. NECC’s success as a Force is inextricably linked
to the well-being and resiliency of that Sailor and their family.
b. Operational readiness along with personal and family
readiness directly affects the fundamental mission of each NECC
subordinate command. A high state of command personal and family
readiness increases commitment, morale, focus, and resiliency
throughout the force. There is a direct correlation between
military proficiency and personal and family readiness.
c. Personal and family readiness refers to the ability of
the individual Sailor and their family to successfully balance
the challenges of a military lifestyle, family, career, and
mission events.
d. Both personal and family readiness are multipliers. Each
is just as important as individual or equipment readiness to
insure a Sailor is prepared for any mission from combat to
humanitarian assistance and disaster response. With families in a
higher state of readiness, individual Sailors are better able to
perform their assigned missions efficiently, effectively, and
safely, thereby promoting a higher state of command readiness.
e. Although the commander is responsible for ensuring the
establishment and maintenance of a CPFRP, the individual Sailor
is responsible and accountable for their personal and family’s
readiness.
f. By-products of a high state of personal and family
readiness are an improved quality of life and feeling of
empowerment. While no one program can completely negate the
sacrifices inherent and unavoidable in a NECC Sailor’s lifestyle,
CPFRP can leverage resources and significantly mitigate many of
the negative aspects.
g. The CPFRP is not designed nor intended to be a
replacement for proactive command leadership, but rather the
program should support leaders at all levels in their pursuit of
readiness.
3. Mission. The mission of the CPFRP is to train and prepare

2. every Sailor and their family to ensure optimum resiliency in
every phase of training, operations and sustainment. When every
Sailor and family in a command reaches the optimum level of
resiliency, a high state of personal and family readiness will
result contributing to the command’s overall state of readiness.
4. Action. Commanders/COs at all levels are responsible for
implementing the action items outlined in this manual.
