Which term describes the liaison between the CO on the ship and the welfare of command's families?

• A. Ombudsman
• B. FFSC
• C. MOV
• D. ROC

Answer: (A)

The liaison between the commanding officer and the command’s families is the Ombudsman. This role is typically a trained volunteer appointed by the CO to act as a trusted bridge, communicating with families, gathering their questions and concerns, and coordinating with support resources. An Ombudsman helps ensure families know what’s happening, access available services, and receive support especially during deployments or crises. The other terms refer to organizations or programs that provide services, not the specific liaison role itself.
