The costs of military service on a nation, a Soldier, and a family
are substantial. Some of the costs are readily apparent; others are
less apparent but just as important. Unlike the physical wounds of
war, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is often invisible to the eye, to
other service men, to family members and to society in general.
Approximately 20% of service members returning from Iraq and
Afghanistan report experiencing a traumatic brain injury during the
deployment. This strategic research project will increase awareness
and understanding of TBI and address the challenges associated with
identification, diagnosis, and treatment of TBI in the military. It
will examine the short and long term post concussive symptoms
associated with TBI. It will examine the impact of TBI on military
readiness and the socioeconomic impact it has on Soldiers, their
families, and the nation. It will also examine the potential lure
to abuse the Veterans Administration (VA) and Department of Defense
(DoD) disability system for financial gain. Finally, it will
recommend the creation of a DoD policy to redeploy or relocate from
the battlefield service members who sustained multiple concussive
events during their deployment.
