Enhancing the Wellness of Reserve Forces: A Strategic Challenge

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a strategy to Reserve Commanders in maintaining a healthy force in support of Joint Vision 2010/2020 through Force Health Protection life-cycle health maintenance program and the Department of Defense HOOAH4HEALTH promotion program. Wellness is the integration of body, mind, and spirit to produce a balanced lifestyle by practicing good health habits and eliminating harmful ones. Disease non-battle injuries can effect and have an impact on the sustained readiness of our troops. The Army Reserve has become a relevant force, focused on readiness and committed to meeting the challenges of the 21st Century. America's Army Reservist needs not only to be trained but healthy, enabling victory in peace and war.
