The Military Family and The Military Organization,

Abstract

There are a number of actions which the services are now taking and others which could be taken which could alleviate or attentuate many of the stresses experienced routinely by military family members. Military commanders from the highest echelons to the lowest must become more aware of family needs and how to meet them. This awareness requires a recognition of how family factors affect the equation for effective and efficient accomplishment of the military mission. Conversely, family members must be made more aware of the military goals. They must recognize the importance of the job the service member performs, the rationale behind his assignments and requirements are no longer to be tolerated. The family must have more information. Also, family members must know the support programs in existence and the options open to them. There is a public relations job to be done by the military organization, a job which has been highly ineffective in past years!. (Author)
