I know Navy has Ombudsmen, but what about the other branches. Does anyone know what the equivalent is in each branch? Is it FRG/FSG? If so, which branches have which?

Army doesn't, I believe if you're lucky enough to have an FRG leader that does its job that the FRG is equivalent. :D

The army has FRG's and FRSA(Family readiness support assistant). FRG's are common, FRSA's not.

The air force(Active Duty at least) has a first sgt or first "shirt" that is active duty and they are the person that deals with family members and family issues. Each squadron has a first shirt that had to go through school to become one. The report directly to the commander. HTH!

In the Air Force we have Key Spouses or Key Spouse groups.
