The book describes the experience of deployment and return from a war zone, typical experiences of military personnel, and issues relevant to special populations (women, ethnic minorities, peacekeepers, private contractors, and parents and extended family of affected individuals).

Learning Outcomes: As a result of taking this course, participant will be able to: 1. Define essential terminology relevant to the military and military operations, including the acronym BATTLEMIND. 2. Identify some basic information and statistics regarding today s military and the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. 3. List common practical issues for military personnel and their families before, during, and after deployment, and common solutions to those issues. 4. Identify common emotional experiences among military personnel and their families before, during, and after deployment. 5. Identify warning signs and symptoms of PTSD, TBI, alcohol and drug abuse, suicidal tendencies, and domestic violence among military personnel, and how these differ from common reactions to being in a war zone 6. Identify coping strategies that troops and their families can use to facilitate adjustment. 7. Identify special populations affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and issues that are specific to those populations. 8. Identify federal laws and federal, private, and volunteer organizations that provide support to troops. 9. Apply information provided in this book to several case scenarios.
