Abstract

Within the U.S. military, incidents of suicide and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) continue to escalate unabated despite efforts to provide reactive, posttrauma treatment. A new focus on proactive, preemptive physical, mental, and moral/ethical training is required prior to combat.

METHODS pioneered and validated in the early 1990s are available and are ready for implementation, but the military must use a holistic, focused strategy to do so. © 2011 Springer Publishing Company.
