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 2014-11-22 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective in this work was to analyze the structure and organization in the operations of a military organization that supports one of the greatest Divisions of the United States Army, the 3rd Infantry Division. The history of Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division as it relates to civilians employees, soldiers, family members and the Ft Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield Community. Morale, Welfare, and Recreation history started on the battlefields of World War 1 were Salvation Army sisters and Red Cross volunteers ministered to the needs of soldiers. The focus of this work provided administrative aspects of public administration and its effects on military success. On October 18th, 2007 Chief of Staff of the Army General George W. Casey Jr, and Secretary of the Army Pete Green signed and unveiled the Army Family Covenant pledging to support its soldiers and families, and active guard and reserve organizations with funding programs to deliver a quality of life commensurate with their service and sacrifices to the nation. It is this commitment that propelled and motivates this organization. The Army Morale, Welfare and Recreation exists because the United States Army states it is committed to the wellbeing of the community of people who serve and stand ready to defend the nation and enhance the lives of soldiers, their families, civilian employees and military retirees. In all organizations there will be transition, changes and improvements within their environments I hope with this work I have opened the minds and hearts of those brave men and women who love the military and the United States of America. With god on our side who can defeat us.
