Navy Family Ombudsman Program - NAF Atsugi

The Ombudsman Program is a command-managed program, mandated by the Department of the Navy, and intended to improve communications between a commanding officer and the families of his/her Sailors. Navy Family Ombudsmen provide vital links to information and referral resources, and they advocate with the command on behalf of command family members. The definition of what constitutes the ‘Navy Family’ would be: the Navy Family is comprised of ALL active-duty and selected reserve Navy members, to include single and married service personnel, their spouses and children, the service member's parents, siblings, and others for whom they may bear sponsor responsibilities.
