Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309489539
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
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.

Defense Science Board Report on Corrosion Control

Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1428980148
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
Weapons system readiness and safety are among the highest priority challenges for the Department of Defense (DoD). As it continues to receive a large number of mission taskings, it is imperative that DoD equipment be maintained at an acceptable level of material condition so that it may be employed safely and effectively when required, often in harsh and physically demanding environments. However, both the material condition and safety of DoD equipment are routinely being undermined by the effects of corrosion. The dollar cost of corrosion to DoD has been estimated by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to be $10-20 billion per year. Aggressive action is needed at every stage in the life cycle of this equipment during design, materials selection, construction, operation, and maintenance to reduce the negative effects of corrosion. At the request of the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USDAT & L) and the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Logistics and Materiel Readiness, the Defense Science Board (DSB) formed a task force to address corrosion control efforts within the DoD. There are two major areas of concern with respect to corrosion for DoD the Services' weapon systems, including platforms, electronics and munitions, and the supporting infrastructure, including facilities, bases, and ports. Due to the direct impact of weapon system corrosion on combat readiness, the Task Force focused its attention on the former, although both areas are critical to DoD, and much of the subsequent discussion applies to both.
