Just as war is not a new phenomenon, neither are the issues
associated with the mental and emotional scars combat brings to
those who fight a nation's wars. Historically, the United States
has assumed a reactive vice proactive posture as it relates to
coping with the fiscal, and humanistic challenges that manifest
within a nation at war, and those who experience the trauma of
combat. The Army has proven slow to respond to the need to train
and educate its leaders and instead has devoted vast capital on the
assessment and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
attacking the symptoms as they arise, vice attacking the stressors
which cause the affliction. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan
and the deployment of forces throughout the world to combat terror,
however, have created conditions whereby PTSD is again in the
lime-light. This monograph examines PTSD from a historical
perspective reviewing the manner in which the Army viewed,
assessed, and treated those afflicted with PTSD as well its methods
for training and educating those honored with the opportunity to
lead these warriors in battle. This monograph highlights existing
shortfalls in assessment, training, doctrine, and education as it
relates to those commanding at the battalion-level.
