The Army family

Description

Describes the dramatic change throughout the culture of the Army from 1983 to 2003. General Shinseki provides a historical summary, survey, and assessment of changes since 1983; describes the Army family and its circumstances through 2003; and discusses new commitments for realizing a seamless Army family system that unites the Army at large in the midst of meeting new strategic challenges in distant lands. The centerpiece of his holistic approach to Army transformation is family well-being, in his view a compelling institutional imperative if the Army is to succeed in today's unpredictable world.
