Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description for Amazon Have you deployed into combat? Are your family member or loved one a soldier? Or are you a behavioral health provider who treats soldiers with deployment stress or PTSD? This pamphlet is intended to make things better for you. Everyone has heard of PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) and the clich is that every military veteran has it. I am a psychologist who treats active duty soldiers and yes, I treat PTSD. But there are many significant ways in which combat changes a person which are not part of behavioral health treatment. Also, professional soldiers are part of a subculture which differs significantly in some ways from the general civilian norm. Soldiers need to track this to adjust to civilian life. Behavioral health providers will be more effective if they take subcultural issues into account when they are treating soldiers. I have spent many hours learning about military subcultures (there are many) and the effects of combat. Soldiers told me what was going on and eventually I was able to understand and explain these issues to soldiers and their families in plain commonsense language. This pamphlet is not a substitute for behavioral health treatment. I hope to accomplish three things: 1)make some things clear to you that will make the transition to civilian or garrison life easier for the combat arms solder; 2) make it easer for the soldiers' family to understand why he or she acts the way he/she does; 3)Highlight some of the issues that can interfere with effective behavioral health treatment. If you are a combat veteran, I want you to know this pamphlet doesn't just 'brief well' - it has been extensively field tested. Let me share with you some of the lessons your brothers and sisters taught me To the family member or loved one, I say: There are reasons why your soldier acts the way he or she does - and reasons why he/she doesn't' like to talk about it. Understanding that may help you. To the behavioral health provider, I say: Bless you for what you do I hope that you may benefit from the lessons I learned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book presents a synthesis of current international knowledge on the topic of military veteran transition to civilian life. Understanding the transition of individuals from military institutions to civilian life is of great importance. The essential elements of transition support are currently widely debated in order to assess current practice and potential shortcomings in the intention to improve health, welfare and social outcomes for military veterans. This text links original research and critical commentary to public policy and practice in the area of veteran transition. Doing so through a collection of international perspectives assists in locating continuity and difference between strategies, agendas and the realities of what is actually known of the veteran’s experience. Chapters in this text examine the subject of transition along lines of enquiry that focus in on themes such as social justice, veteran identity and developments in transition agendas. Globally, many veterans face complex social issues such as low income, barriers to employment, and problems of health and welfare. Chapters take stock of the real-world issues affecting veterans and at the same time casts a critical eye over the limitations in accessing, or denial of access to opportunities, support and remedy. The veteran identity is an important dimension of enquiry here. This book looks at the relational factors between the veteran and the public, the creation of a master status and the challenges faced by veterans in transitioning into a cultural context that is saturated with imagery of what a veteran ‘is’. Chapters also seek to pose recommendations as to how the policy and practice agenda that surrounds veterans and the bridging of the gap between military and civilian life may be developed. Here authors point towards the value of knowledge, research and analysis that is underpinned by participatory strategies with veterans themselves. For example, seeking to establish lines of enquiry that value the voice of veterans as an ongoing and iterative dimension of developing understanding.

Download or read book Bridging the Military Civilian Divide written by Bruce Fleming and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civilians and military personnel do not have a clear view of each other in the United States today. Conspiring against such understanding are the norms and traditions of the two cultures. On the one hand, the military is considered to like its secrecy and think of itself as morally superior to the civilians it is meant to serve. On the other hand, civilians praise or blame the armed forces based on political exigencies and generally without true comprehension of their culture. And their mutual misperceptions seem greater now than in the late 1960s and early 1970s during the Vietnam War. Yet, as U.S. Naval Academy professor Bruce Fleming points out, the military is linked to the civilian world so fundamentally that all of us pay the price if they do not develop an appreciation of one another--but that is achievable only if each side also strives to see itself clearly. As the military fulfills its mission of protecting Americans and their way of life, civilians must also do their part and support the military through budget allocations, legislation, and enlistment. Without this shared commitment, American interests suffer as a whole. Fleming shows how to close a military-civilian gap that yawns so large in twenty-first-century America that it potentially threatens national security and essential freedoms.

Download or read book Veterans and Civilians written by Fernando Jose Torres and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 200,000 military service members transition each year. Of the vast array of transition tools and resources at their disposal, only a handful focus on the transferable skills with which service members transition. Of that handful, there are no readily available resources that use anything more than a basic algorithm to match military fields to civilian careers or assist the service member in identifying the type of post military career they are best suited for. After transitioning, military veterans struggle to communicate their extensible skill sets to potential civilian employers as a result of their highly specialized vocational language leading to inequitable employment opportunities. The objective of this body of research was to evaluate veteran career statistics compared to their intended career paths and employer hiring methodologies in an effort to determine the typical veteran’s career outlook. This was compared to the approximate level of comparable civilian equivalent. After conducting statistical research from numerous resources, reviewing various types of job listings and comparing that data to veteran experiences it was revealed that veterans have a high employment rate. However, most of this employment remains at the labor or technical level and not the supervisory level that many veterans achieved while serving. It is apparent that a communication gap exists between military occupational terminology and civilian employment vernacular. The most effective solution to this predicament is to afford veterans an instructional resource to assist in accentuating their hard-earned skills and attributes and adapting their resumes into comprehensible formats readily accepted by hiring managers. The Vet Bridge skills translation program is the initial format for this solution. Further research and knowledge contribution by veterans and employers are of the utmost importance to building and maintaining a robust and effective program.

Download or read book Civil Military Relations and Shared Responsibility written by Dale R. Herspring and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative approach to evaluating civil-military relations. Dale R. Herspring considers the factors that allow some civilian and military organizations to operate more productively in a political context than others, bringing into comparative study for the first time the military organizations of the U.S., Russia, Germany, and Canada. Refuting the work of scholars such as Samuel P. Huntington and Michael C. Desch, Civil-Military Relations and Shared Responsibility approaches civil-military relations from a new angle, military culture, arguing that the optimal form of civil-military relations is one of shared responsibility between the two groups. Herspring outlines eight factors that contribute to conditions that promote and support shared responsibility among civilian officials and the military, including such prerequisites as civilian leaders not interfering in the military's promotion process and civilian respect for military symbols and traditions. He uses these indicators in his comparative treatment of the U.S., Russian, German, and Canadian militaries. Civilian authorities are always in charge and the decision on how to treat the military is a civilian decision. However, Herspring argues, failure by civilians to respect military culture will antagonize senior military officials, who will feel less free to express their views, thus depriving senior civilian officials, most of whom have no military experience, of the expert advice of those most capable of assessing the far-reaching forms of violence. This issue of civilian respect for military culture and operations plays out in Herspring's country case studies. Scholars of civil-military relations will find much to debate in Herspring's framework, while students of civil-military and defense policy will appreciate Herspring's brief historical tour of each countries' post–World War II political and policy landscapes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission Transition is an essential career-change guide for any transitioning veteran that wants to avoid false starts and make optimal career choices following active duty. Every year, about a quarter of a million veterans leave the military - most of whom are unprepared for the transition. These service members have developed incredible leadership, problem-solving, and practical skills that are underutilized once they reach the civilian world, a detriment to both themselves and society. Well-intentioned Transition Assistance Programs and other support structures within the armed forces often leave veterans fending for themselves. The mission-first culture of the military results in service members focusing on their active duty roles in the year leading up to their separation, leaving them little time to adequately prepare to join the civilian world. President of Purepost, a next-generation staffing solution and public benefits corporation, and author Matthew J. Louis guides military personnel through the entire process of making a successful move into civilian professional life. In Mission Transition, this book will: Guide you through the process of discovering what path you want to take going forward Teach you the strategies that will make your résumé stand out Provide suggestions to help you prepare for and ace the interview Discuss ways to acclimate to your new organization’s culture and pay it forward to other veterans Each chapter includes advice from other veterans, illustrations of key concepts, summaries, and suggested resources.

Download or read book Unity of Mission written by Melanne A Civic and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-20 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much has been written about civilian-military teams in Vietnam and, most recently, in Iraq and Afghanistan, the subject has not been addressed in a single, comprehensive publication containing historical context and reflecting a broad diversity of views. It is the intention of the coeditors of Unity of Mission to fill this gap. The authors are convinced that without unity among military and civilian actors, long-term mission success is difficult at best. They believe the essays contained in this volume attest to this assertion. They are also fully aware that civilian-military teams are not a silver bullet. Rather, at best, such teams serve as a useful tool in a more comprehensive security framework. Nevertheless, in an age of budgetary constraints, the need to coordinate military and civilian resources-hard, kinetic, and soft power-is clear. It is the opinion of the coeditors that civilian-military teams are critical to achieving the goals of sustainable peace, stability, and security.
