This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A job-search manual that gives career seekers a systematic, tech-savvy formula to efficiently and effectively target potential employers and secure the essential first interview. The 2-Hour Job Search shows job-seekers how to work smarter (and faster) to secure first interviews. Through a prescriptive approach, Dalton explains how to wade through the Internet’s sea of information and create a job-search system that relies on mainstream technology such as Excel, Google, LinkedIn, and alumni databases to create a list of target employers, contact them, and then secure an interview—with only two hours of effort. Avoiding vague tips like “leverage your contacts,” Dalton tells job-hunters exactly what to do and how to do it. This empowering book focuses on the critical middle phase of the job search and helps readers bring organization to what is all too often an ineffectual and frustrating process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission Transition is an essential career-change guide for any transitioning veteran that wants to avoid false starts and make optimal career choices following active duty. Every year, about a quarter of a million veterans leave the military - most of whom are unprepared for the transition. These service members have developed incredible leadership, problem-solving, and practical skills that are underutilized once they reach the civilian world, a detriment to both themselves and society. Well-intentioned Transition Assistance Programs and other support structures within the armed forces often leave veterans fending for themselves. The mission-first culture of the military results in service members focusing on their active duty roles in the year leading up to their separation, leaving them little time to adequately prepare to join the civilian world. President of Purepost, a next-generation staffing solution and public benefits corporation, and author Matthew J. Louis guides military personnel through the entire process of making a successful move into civilian professional life. In Mission Transition, this book will: Guide you through the process of discovering what path you want to take going forward Teach you the strategies that will make your résumé stand out Provide suggestions to help you prepare for and ace the interview Discuss ways to acclimate to your new organization’s culture and pay it forward to other veterans Each chapter includes advice from other veterans, illustrations of key concepts, summaries, and suggested resources. Let this well-written and easy to follow guidebook help you transition out from the military and commit to being successful in the next chapter of your life.

Download or read book Military Identity and the Transition into Civilian Life written by Kevin M Wilson-Smith and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines the relationship between social identity theory and military to civilian transition, examining the mass movement of soldiers back into the civilian occupational world by considering literature specifically on role exit and in relation to the process of full-time military exit. The authors document a range of biographical and experientially-focussed case studies to highlight the range of transitions experienced by individuals leaving the armed forces. This book highlights the challenges faced by those transitioning between military and civilian roles through retirement, redundancy, medical discharge or in constant transition as a Reservist. It addresses themes of significant public interest in the light of the recent restructure of the UK full-time and reserve services and following the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Book excerpt: Veterans experience a loss in personal identity while acclimating from their military identity into their civilian identity. Soldiers returning home from war are put into a state of cultural survival upon reentering life outside the military. Veterans of the Gulf War and Global War on Terrorism come home to an isolating transition into society. The loss of daily comradeship from their time in active duty aids in leading to this lost sense of identity. The soldier's relationships, job, and general purpose become reexamined causing the soldier to essentially start over. The transition back to civilian life for the Gulf War and GWOT Veterans closely mimics the experiences of veterans from the Korean War. While all returning veterans face transitions coming home, the level of support during their transitions has wavered. Veterans of WWI, WWII, and Vietnam found strength in active groups. The veterans of WWI, WWII, and Vietnam managed to maintain a level of comradeship during their transitions back into civilian life. This level of comradeship is a reflection of the cultural times in which the veterans returned home. The Korean War, Gulf War, and GWOT soldiers returned to a society focused on the individual.

Download or read book Crafting Civilian Control of the Military in Venezuela written by Harold A. Trinkunas and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike most other emerging South American democracies, Venezuela has not succumbed to a successful military coup d'etat during four decades of democratic rule. What drives armed forces to follow the orders of elected leaders? And how do emerging democracies gain that control over their military establishments? Harold Trinkunas answers these questions in an examination of Venezuela's transition to democracy following military rule and its attempts to institutionalize civilian control of the military over the past sixty years, a period that included three regime changes. Trinkunas first focuses on the strategic choices democratizers make about the military and how these affect the internal civil-military balance of power in a new regime. He then analyzes a regime's capacity to institutionalize civilian control, looking specifically at Venezuela's failures and successes in this arena during three periods of intense change: the October revolution (1945-48), the Pact of Punto Fijo period (1958-98), and the Fifth Republic under President Hugo Chavez (1998 to the present). Placing Venezuela in comparative perspective with Argentina, Chile, and Spain, Trinkunas identifies the bureaucratic mechanisms democracies need in order to sustain civilian authority over the armed forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has never been a more important time -- in corporate America and in the American military -- for leaders, at all levels, to understand how to invest in people. This book teaches you to do just that. Written by a 27-year Army Colonel, veteran and leader of more than 5,000 troops in the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division, It's Personal, Not Personnel: Leadership Lessons for the Battlefield and the Boardroom offers true stories and practical frameworks you can apply to the people in your organization and on your team. Whether from lack of will, experience or training, many leaders pay lip service to investing in people. Instead, they manage them on spreadsheets and in HR-focused software applications without personal consideration, failing to truly know them, care for them or establish healthy, fulfilling environments in which they can work and serve. Leaders focus on task completion, blind to the true effect it has on a person and his or her family. Those appointed to guide and delegate -- in business and in the armed forces -- often miss the opportunity to create a people-centric environment where productivity and efficiency will improve. It's less about making mechanics, IT managers or soldiers better at their trade, and it's more about making people better people. Explore the intricacies of personal connection in the workplace by following Rob Campbell through his own experiences leading large teams in high-stakes work, and then learn to apply those insights to your own work as a leader. It's all too easy for leaders to misplace their primary focus on customers and investors, and even on their own over-committed schedules, when the most important thing they could be doing is investing in their people. By understanding that leadership is personal, you will begin to understand that all workplace challenges -- productivity issues, efficiency issues, turnover problems, lack of employee engagement -- all come down to whether employees are being acknowledged, valued and understood. Through his own applications of people-first processes, Rob Campbell will instruct you in how to reinforce your team, identify weaknesses to be strengthened and expand your definition of conscious leadership. If you are a leader in any capacity, whether in the boardroom or on the battlefield, this book will teach you to embrace the soul of powerful leadership: guiding and empowering people to enable every teammate to play to their greatest strengths and aptitudes. It's time to understand what makes your people tick, and to lead them in new and better ways.
