Marine Corps Family Team Building Information

Marine Corps Family Team Building was established in December of 1998 as a result of the merger of Human Services, Morale, Welfare and Recreation and Base Education. Several separate family-related entities with similar functions were combined under the direction of a Marine Officer to unify their efforts. Our programs vary from pre-deployment briefs and Family Readiness training to religious retreats. Though diverse, our focus is to build a strong bond between service members, their families, and the Marine Corps.

Every aspect of Marine Corps Family Team Building is geared toward assisting unit commanding officers and families in maintaining readiness. There is no cost for any program we conduct. The time invested by the units and participants pays significant dividends in the enhanced readiness, knowledge and preparation of the Marines and their families.

Our office is located in the Midway Park Marine & Family Services Annex, Bldg LC 4012A, and we invite you to visit us. Our office hours are 0730 to 1630, Monday to Friday and we can be reached at 451-0176.
