appropriate spouse volunteer is 

available. Family members, civilian 

employees affiliated with the command,

considered for a waiver. As part of the 

selection process, prospective 

Ombudsmen will be notified of the 

request for an interview by either the 

commanding officer or another member 

of the Command Support Team. 

Prospective Ombudsmen may be 

interviewed by phone, or in person with 

the commanding officer. The 

information collection is also necessary 

to provide Ombudsmen with program 

information; communicate during 

natural disasters and crisis; collect 

program contact numbers and workload 

data; and maintain records of program 

training received. Numbers provided 

from the collection help identify the 

issues and concern of the families, 

trends during deployment and identify 

training which may be beneficial to the 

command families.
