Ombudsman

Navy ombudsmen are key resources for family members, particularly during deployments. They serve as a liaison between the command team and families within the command. Ombudsmen:

• Provide information and referral to assist families with concerns or issues.
• Regularly communicate and distribute information to and from the command and the unit’s family members.
• Keep the command informed regarding the overall health, morale and welfare of the families in the command.
