FRG Leaders and the vFRG

Mother and daughterThe Army FRG website provides Commanders and FRG Leaders with a secure way to communicate information to their unit’s Soldiers and their Family Members 24/7 from anywhere in the world.  By establishing a unit vFRG site, Commanders and FRG Leaders can provide information, photos/videos, downloadable files, and more to the geographically dispersed Soldiers of the unit and their Family Members.  In cooperation with the unit’s Commander, FRG Leaders are responsible for maintaining the unit’s site as well as updating the Sponsor (Soldier) database, approving site subscriptions, responding to questions, and more.

A unit’s virtual FRG site (vFRG) promotes a community feeling within units by providing a place that is customized to the unit and contains content that is controlled by the unit.  The creation of a unit's vFRG site involves no cost to the unit and includes training and support using a variety of methods.  It is easy to get started and a new vFRG site can be created for an Army unit in a matter of days!  Once you have approval from the unit Commander, follow these five easy steps to create a new unit vFRG site as an FRG Leader:

  1. Click the  button.
  2. Enter your unit information.
  3. Await a site approval email from FMWRC, which generally arrives within a few days.
  4. Follow the site creation instructions in the approval email.
  5. Upload site content.
