Greetings Marines, Sailors, and families.
On behalf of the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Eric Kauffman, and the rest of the Family Readiness Command Team, I would like to welcome you to 1st Maintenance Battalion. I am privileged to serve Marines, Sailors, and their families as the Battalion’s Uniformed Readiness Coordinator (URC) alongside our Deployment Readiness Coordinator (DRC).
My past experiences include deploying twice in support of the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force-Crisis Response-Central Command, being a Marine Recruiter in Pittsburgh, and serving as a Maintenance Shop Chief prior to becoming 1st Maintenance Battalion’s URC. These experiences provided me with valuable insight to draw on to better support our families’ needs throughout the deployment process.
There are many challenges in today’s Marines Corps, and adapting to a military lifestyle can be both stressful and rewarding. As the URC, my goal is to enhance our family networking while providing education and access to numerous resources that will support you in the challenging days ahead. Through a steady flow of communication, I aim to ensure our families have the tools needed to thrive in this ever-changing environment.
We are always seeking Marines, Sailors, and family members who wish to volunteer in support of our Marines and Sailors and hope that you will consider being a part of our team. Our whole Battalion benefits when our families share their talents. Ways you can support include becoming a Deployment Readiness Volunteer, attending unit functions and classes, and providing feedback on your experience. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office at 760-725-3532 or email me.
Thank you for your continuous support to our Marines, Sailors, and families. I look forward to serving you.
Sincerely,
Sergeant Todd Rose
Uniformed Readiness Coordinator
