Addressing Moral Injury by Chaplains in the Marine Corps

Abstract

The analytical focus of this paper is my belief that the USMC is following an outdated pedagogy in its efforts to teach resiliency. I will demonstrate this by establishing a core understanding of resiliency and explain how themedical communitys shift in understanding care has impacted resiliency training. Further, I will argue that aspects gleaned from peer-reviewed, clinically-trialed psychological practices in cognitive behavioral change provide us insight into how to approach resiliency training. I will then discuss the hurdles inherent in the USMCin implementing an effective resiliency program. Finally, I will outline how resiliency training should be constructed to truly build a more resilient force.
