The Navy Ombudsman Program information
collection is necessary to solicit and select a spouse for the
volunteer Ombudsman position in Navy components. Ombudsmen act as a
liaison between the Navy command/activity and the command’s
families. An ombudsman is the spouse of an active duty or Selected
Reserve member of the command, enlisted or officer. This
requirement can be waived if, after a diligent search, no
appropriate spouse volunteer is available. Family members, civilian
employees affiliated with the command, and active duty service
members may be considered for a waiver.
