I have my thoughts both on the results, and the appropriateness of releasing this data (against it, even though aggregated.)

For now, I'm just going to leave it right here and see what RP thinks.

"Army morale low despite 6-year, $287M optimism program" (AKA the Army Resiliency Program)

... Or... perhaps it could because of 14 years of sustained combat, high optempo, and record/multiple deployments....

As Garrison Commander (just coming off of 15 Month Deployment in Baghdad during the surge) from 2009 - 2012, I was on the ground floor of all the work to "stop the bleeding" with regards to record suicides, sexual assaults, alcohol and prescription drug abuse, and this goes on... The "Resiliency Program" and efforts was our solution. But, I was never really sure if this was something that was needed, would work, or whether it was yet another bright idea to demonstrate we were at least trying to help?

As a Commander, at many levels, I have dealt with all these issues, and I have also put lots of thought into how to reduce and stop these issues. The resiliency program was part of the Army's solution.

I left the Army in 2013, and the program just getting off the ground.

- What are your thoughts on the Resiliency Program?

- Or... How can we help with Low Morale.... which leads to many of the other issues we are trying to get after.
