Abstract

Extreme stress and adversity due to combat operations and disaster assistance is commonplace in the military. Adverse events may be compounded by multiple deployments and family or relational problems. The military’s mission readiness depends largely on the resilience of service members, family members, military units, and communities. In general, resilience is an individual, family, organization, or communities’ ability to adapt to adverse stress effectively as measured by performance and well-being. A resilience defi nition provided by The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP) The Technical Panel 13 (TTP-13) is “the sum total of psychological processes that permit individuals to maintain or return to previous levels of well-being and functioning in response to adversity.” 1 This article provides an overview of some of the organizations that focus on resilience building for military members, providers, units, families, and communities.
