The Unit Manning System Family Health Study

Abstract

The Unit Manning System Family Health Study was undertaken to achieve three primary aims: the first was to understand the impact of the military lifestyle on the quality of life of military waves; the second was to investigate the importance of social supports in alleviating military life stress, and also to investigate factors which promote the development of social supports. The third and most important goal was to determine how the needs and problems of the Army family, affect soldier morale, retention and readiness. The present study is longitudinal, and involves a comparison over time of military families participating in the Unit manning system program with those still subjected to the traditional method of assignment and deployment. Keywords: Quality of Life; Social supports; Stress; Satisfaction; Family; Wives; Army; COHORT; Unit Manning System; Soldier reenlistment. (KT)
