Use of VTC to Decrease Lost Work Days and Enhance Force Protection in Division Mental Health

Abstract

Logistics-The PI did not arrive at the duty station where the study/project was to he performed until August 2000. His unit was deployed the six months prior to his arrival, making preparation or coordination of the study impossible until his arrival. Protocol Approval-There was a lengthy approval process (10 months). Equipment Purchasing- There was a difficult acquisition process due to PI's being stationed overseas and needing to work with multiple organizations in Germany and continental US. Insufficient Funds also required the PI to obtain additional funding from BSB commanders locally before project could be started. Obtaining approval for this funding was also a lengthy process. Organizational Coordination-Numerous military organizations not directly connected with 1st ID, Division Mental Health needed to be briefed regarding the protocol and give support in order to perform the study proposed, this often required multiple meetings, approval from Commanders, and supporting documentation.
