This report provides details of the implementation of a forms assistance tool designed to help personnel charged with carrying out the United States Army's Casualty Assistance mission. The need for this tool has arisen with the expansion of casualty operations in the Global War on Terror (GWOT), the growing complexity of the system of benefits provided to the surviving family members of soldiers who are killed, and the high level of emphasis placed on executing this mission with compassion and precision. The software tool, called the Armed Forces Casualty Readiness Enhancement System (AF-CARES 1.0), provides form filling assistance and access to case data in a stand alone application. The system uses a run time data representation of the case and an extensible markup language specification for the library of supported forms to automate the routing tasks common to every case of filling out a significant number of forms. The software automatically fills forms and provides access to the forms for viewing, printing, and editing. The software also provides a persistent save file format and case file reader for managing cases over time. AF-CARES 1.0 has been deployed to all of the regional Casualty Assistance Centers (CACs) with 76 users participating in an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) knowledge center implemented to facilitate deployment, support, and the identification of capability gaps against an objective software assistance capability.

The families of fallen soldiers are required to complete a considerable number of forms in order to receive various benefits and entitlements from the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Administration, Internal Revenue Service, and Social Security Administration. They must do so at a time when the families' grief is raw and normal tasks seem an unbearable burden. Active duty soldiers appointed Casualty Assistance Officers (CAOs) assist surviving families through the process. However, CAOs tend to be inexperienced, usually serving in this capacity for the first and only time, and they often times find themselves challenged to provide accurate and thorough assistance. Moreover, changing laws and updated regulations regarding casualty entitlements add to the pressures and perplexities that many CAOs experience. As a consequence, some families do not receive all benefits and entitlements in a timely manner. Furthermore, in some instances potential benefits may be overlooked entirely. To help remedy these shortcomings, we have developed the Armed Forces Casualty Assistance Readiness Enhancement System (CARES) an information system that improves how the Department of Defense cares for military families in arguably their greatest time of need.

Information and communication technology (ICT) is permeating all aspects of service management; in the public sector, ICT is improving the capacity of government agencies to provide a wide array of innovative services that benefit citizens. E-Government is emerging as a multidisciplinary field of research based initially on empirical insights from practice. Efforts to theoretically anchor the field have opened perspectives from multiple research domains, as demonstrated in Practical Studies in E-Government. In this volume, the editors and contributors consider the evolution of the e-government field from both practical and research perspectives. Featuring in-depth case studies of initiatives in eight countries, the book deals with such technology-oriented issues as interoperability, prototyping, data quality, and advanced interfaces, and management-oriented issues as e-procurement, e-identification, election results verification, and information privacy. The book features best practices, tools for measuring and improving performance, and analytical methods for researchers.

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 â€" 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.

Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade, spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military medical force for future combat and to prevent death from survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and translated into the U.S. civilian system.

The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self. Notice: This is a printed Paperback version of the "The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces". Full version, All Chapters included. This publication is available (Electronic version) in the official website of the National Defense University (NDU). This document is properly formatted and printed as a perfect sized copy 6x9".
