Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, Congress tasked the Department of Defense to commission an independent assessment of U.S. military strategy and force posture in the Asia-Pacific, as well as that of U.S. allies and partners, over the next decade. This CSIS study fulfills that congressional requirement. The authors assess U.S. progress to date and recommend initiatives necessary to protect U.S. interests in the Pacific Command area of responsibility through 2025. Four lines of effort are highlighted: (1) Washington needs to continue aligning Asia strategy within the U.S. government and with allies and partners; (2) U.S. leaders should accelerate efforts to strengthen ally and partner capability, capacity, resilience, and interoperability; (3) the United States should sustain and expand U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific region; and (4) the United States should accelerate development of innovative capabilities and concepts for U.S. forces.

Download or read book The National Brain Wounded Veteran Brain Drain written by Eric W. Koleda and published by TreatNOW.org. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), the “invisible wounds” and the “signature injuries” to US service members, number over eight hundred thousand. The costs of those injuries over time have not been adequately tallied. The DoD, VA and medicine in general use an inadequate protocol that treats symptoms and fails to treat underlying brain wounds. It is fair to say that costs continue to escalate partly as a result of politics brought about by medicine’s unwillingness to accept worldwide science and evidence of new, non-standard treatments that are healing brain wounds. Annually, millions of people in the US sustain TBIs and Concussions. Over a quarter of million are hospitalized and survive. According to CDC estimates, 1.6 to 3.8 million sports and recreation related concussions occur each year in the U.S. Over 80,000 experience the onset of long-term disability. Acquired brain trauma is the second most prevalent disability in the U.S., now estimated at 13.5 million Americans. A war lasting twenty years has coincided with interrelated epidemics of suicide, opioid overdoses, and mental health deterioration in the military services. $118.1 billion per year is the current annual economic impact on our country by TBI veterans who live with untreated, undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed brain wounds. The costs are spread across a complex of known impacts. It includes Veteran homelessness, loss of state and federal income taxes, sales taxes, vehicle taxes, drug and opioid induced costs, non-taxable VA and Social Security disability payments, state incarceration and hospitalization costs, pharmaceuticals, and caregiver costs. The costs of the moral, mental, social and behavioral damage are hard to quantify. The financial modeling approach used in this study reflects the estimated economic impact to each state and our country’s annual tax revenues and expenses. A similar analysis is done to assess the costs of treating and healing brain wounds with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and other proven alternative, functional medicine interventions. This contrasts with the current standard of care: merely treating symptoms and palliating pain and suffering with drugs. Treating and healing brain wounds, now possible, can reverse the suicide epidemic among service members and brake accelerating costs; improve Quality of Life for the wounded and their families; and affect military readiness and national security. The cost savings are profound: Treating the estimated 877,000+ brain-wounded post-9/11 Veterans with Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) and other proven alternative therapies will cost an estimated $19.7 Billion. That is less than ½ of one percent of the $4.7 Trillion 40-year lifetime costs attributable to NOT treating those brain wounds. Recommendations include: Immediate use of proven alternative therapies such as HBOT to arrest the suicide epidemic and heal wounded brains; implementation of a comprehensive plan to promote a collaborative, prospective TBI treatment agenda, with the sense of urgency that epidemics demand; URGENT DoD and VA efforts to develop coordinate, and implement a measurement-based TBI management system that documents patients’ progress over the course of treatment and long-term follow-up; highest priority assigned to ensure DoD and VA medical personnel are fulfilling their medical ethical obligations of “Informed Consent” about current alternative treatments, science and the need for immediate identification and treatment of a brain wounded service members; independent audits of all mental health statistics and numbers coming out of DoD and the VA, along with budget numbers masking total costs for TBI Veterans; and application of the principles of Functional Medicine in assessing and treating all combat veterans.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Grounding its readers in up-to-date research and practice, Military Psychology will assist health psychologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and clinical social workers in understanding and providing treatment for military populations, veterans, and their families, as well as military psychologists in leadership and consulting positions.
