Good day Everyone,

My name is Delana Jemison, and I am the Deployment Readiness Coordinator (DRC), formerly referred to as the Family Readiness Officer (FRO).  I am looking forward to working with all of you and your families here or back stateside.  The goal of the Unit, Personal, and Family Readiness Program (UPFRP) is to ensure consistent, timely and accurate Official Command Communication; provide Information, Resource and Referral Services; Readiness and Deployment Support and lastly Volunteer Management.  All of this is provided to enhance our Marine’s or Sailor’s personal and family readiness.

As the DRC, my role is to act as a liaison between families and the command by facilitating two-way communication.  Additionally, I can assist you with referral to community resources provided through the Department of Defense (DoD) and Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS). In the event of a deployment, I will be a resource for information, workshops, and support services that help ease the burden placed on families.  I will also be assisting with all the unit events such as family days and holiday parties. 

Having detailed my role as the DRC, I would like to ask for your support in the UPFRP.  The Family Readiness Program realizes that the program cannot thrive to its greatest potential without the support of the Marines, Sailors, and their families.  Please know that any input or ideas you may have for the program are valued and very much appreciated.

Again, I look forward to working with all of you and hearing from you with any ideas, comments or concerns.  Your input along with volunteer participation will enable the unit to provide an active and successful program to you as well as  the families of our battalion.  Feel free to contact me or stop by my main office located at 3d SGX (3d Supply Battalion), bldg. 708, room 108 on Camp Kinser.

Lastly, please click on the 3d SGX emblem in my signature block to find us on Facebook.  Alternatively, you may search ‘3d Sustainment Group’ on FaceBook, InstaGram, and LinkedIn.
