  • provide training, guidance, and other information to ensure that such command personnel are equipped to encourage and support military family readiness within their unit or installation;
  • ensure that each assessment includes the extent to which the command personnel encourage and support military family readiness; and
  • ensure that each assessment includes surveys of the spouses of service members on matters that are relevant to military spouses, military families, and military family readiness.
