Excerpt

During the past decade, active duty, Reserve, and National Guard servicemen and servicewomen of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard have borne the brunt of multiple wars in various combat environments. Behind all military service members are their families, which are a critical part of our nation’s military; without their support, our service members could not accomplish all that they do. Much of the focus of military medicine has been on treating service members for both their psychological and their physical wounds, but military families and children have also been affected and are in need of both community and health care services.
