Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the future of Army morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) programs. Continued budgetary pressures are forcing changes in Army MWR provision. At the same time, times on station for soldiers are increasing, more spouses are working outside the home, and funds for on-post housing are shrinking. All these factors push toward more provision of MWR services by the off-post private sector. The report develops a costing methodology to more accurately compare the costs of different MWR provision methods.

Book excerpt: This study examines the ways in which Army Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) programs are fiscally managed, and develop a decision making model that can assess the relative costs of various MWR provision options. The goal of this research is to maximize the benefits soldiers receive from the resources devoted to Army MWR. The Army's MWR system is intended to support combat readiness, recruitment, and retention. A variety of services are provided, ranging from libraries to child care. MWR activities are managed at the installation level, albeit subject to guidelines from major commands (MACOMs) and the Army. The authors focused their research on seven MWR activities (i.e., gyms, sports, recreation centers, arts and crafts, auto crafts, outdoor recreation, and youth activities) at eight military installations: Fort Lewis, Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter, Fort Knox, Fort Irwin, Fort Bliss, White Sands Missile Range, and Rock Island Arsenal. The goal was to obtain heterogeneity on six dimensions: installation type, MACOM, metropolitan scale, cost of living, proximity to other military installations, and military-civilian distribution. The results show there is a chronic underestimation of the costs of providing MWR and other services by government employees. The authors are concerned, therefore, that Army spending on MWR is being misallocated. They hypothesize that a fuller examination of the costs of different provision options would result in a greater heterogeneity of approaches. For instance, it may be optimal to have government employees or contractors directly provide MWR services at isolated installations, while soldiers in large urban areas might simply be given extra cash and allowed to procure whatever MWR services they wish on the private economy. The authors believe the issue of how Army MWR resources are allocated should be completely revisited. This report is meant as a first step in this direction. (20 tables, 3 figures, 26 refs.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of US military benefits “offers a disturbing view of the armed forces as a high-value target in political clashes over public assistance” (The Nation). Since the end of the draft, the U.S. Army has prided itself on its patriotic volunteers who heed the call to “Be All That You Can Be.” But beneath the recruitment slogans, the army promised volunteers something more tangible: a social safety net including medical care, education, housing assistance, legal services, and other privileges that had long been reserved for career soldiers. The Rise of the Military Welfare State examines how the U.S. Army’s extension of benefits to enlisted men and women created a military welfare system of unprecedented size and scope. In the 1970s, widespread opposition to the draft led to the establishment of America’s all-volunteer army. For this to succeed, a new strategy was needed for attracting and retaining soldiers. The army solved the problem, Jennifer Mittelstadt shows, by promising to take care of its own. While the United States dismantled its civilian welfare system in the 1980s and 1990s, army benefits continued to expand. Mittelstadt also examines how critics of this expansion fought to roll back its signature achievements, even as a new era of war began.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
