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 ? 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. Table of
