Army Community Support Programs and Army Families
Author: Walter Schumm
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781423556626
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
During the late 1980's soldiers and family members were asked a series of questions about the Army's social and recreational services in four world-wide surveys: the DoD Family Survey (1985), The Annual Survey of Army Families (1987), The RAND Corporation Survey (1987), and the Army Family Research Program or AFRP Survey (1989). Specifically, the respondents were asked whether they used given services, were satisfied with it, and what benefits they derived from such services. The purpose of this report is to provide insights into what these services actually do by contrasting what different groups of respondents (e.g., officers, enlisted soldiers, and spouses) and different surveys say about these services. In addition to summarizing the findings, the report also makes recommendations (where appropriate) for how to improve given services. General community services have much higher use than do the more "clinical" or services that are "targeted" to a special group. In general, spouses are more likely than soldiers to use Army services. Soldiers who used services were more likely to see their leaders as supportive of families than those who did not. Retention intentions were also related to satisfaction with the community, particularly among junior enlisted personnel.

Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309489539
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.

Increasing a Sense of Community in the Military: The Role of Personnel Support Programs
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Community life
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
In addition to organizational issues, the military is concerned with individual and family welfare. To meet the needs of military members and their families, the Department of Defense has created a number of personnel support programs. Such programs help maintain a high quality of life within the military. One important aspect of quality of life is a sense of community. The social science literature has shown that a sense of community is positively associated with a number of important organizational outcomes, such as commitment, performance, retention, and readiness. This report reviews nine insights from the social science literature that can be used to strengthen a sense of community within an organization. Suggestions are provided on how personnel support programs can implement these principles. This report is part of a longer-term study of quality-of-life issues in the military. It is intended for military and civilian policymakers and decisionmakers with an interest in how quality of life bears on retention and readiness. The study is assessing the mix and scope of military support programs and will recommend policies to enhance the effectiveness of support programs. The work was sponsored by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Personnel Support, Families, and Education. This research was conducted in the Forces and Resources Policy Center, which is part of RAND's National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the unified commands, and the defense agencies.
