On July 1, 2023, we will celebrate its 50th Anniversary.This book is about the veterans of that AVF . It reveals a wealth of facts and new ideas about these veterans and offers suggestions for how the country can better leverage its already significant investment in them for the betterment of both the veterans and the country.The book’s main purpose is to use the occasion of the 50th anniversary is to stimulate a national discussion about veterans that can lead to a reshaping of veterans’ support and benefit programs in a way that better leverages both our significant investment in the members of our AVF and the diverse talents that they bring into our society.The authors are acknowledged authorities on veterans and military issues. Dr. Kupersmith previously directed the VA medical research program and has been involved in and written about veterans’ issues. GEN Casey was the 36th Army Chief of Staff. He has considerable expertise on military and veterans’ issues, and he lived the AVF from its inception.The book derives from a workshop of experienced individuals who have both formulated and executed veterans’ policy at the highest levels . The group included 3 former VA Secretaries, several former and present VA officials, members of Congress, executive directors of major veterans’ organizations and leaders on veterans’ issues from the private sector, media, and academia.The book shows how AVF veterans differ from those of the previous conscripted force and how military experience has provided a wealth of highly transferrable skills to veterans --teamwork, experience in diverse settings and in values-based organizations, complex problem solving, technology sophistication, fitness, and commitment to life-long learning. These skills have resulted not only in increased wage-earning for AVF veterans relative to non-veteran counterparts, but also in increased opportunities for the country.The book identifies areas where improvements can be made such as in the disability system to better empower veterans to live their best lives, and in the transition process from active service to help the private sector take advantage of this cohort of talented and diverse men and women.It also sheds light on challenges for veterans such as PTSD, suicide, toxic exposures, homelessness, and veteran population shifts and declining numbers that may affect their influence.This book is a must read for legislative bodies, government agencies, veterans’ organizations or anyone who deals with veterans and the veteran experience.From, David Shulkin , Former VA SecretaryThis unique and important book represents the work of thought leaders who have both reflected on the past and proposed reforms and innovations needed to fulfill our responsibility to those who serveFrom James B Peake, Former VA SecretaryDr Kupersmith and General Casey have done an incredible job in this book of surveying a subject that goes well beyond just a discussion of the All-Volunteer Force. The book explores the changing demographics of our country, the increased technological base of our Military, and our Nation's commitment to caring for those who have served. Beyond the attention-grabbing headlines of the very real challenges some Veterans face, it provides references to the personal growth, the increased wage-earning power and being employed at higher rates than age-adjusted non-veteran counterparts of our Veteran population. Collectively this book will serve as a rich reference for any who study the Military, the Veteran experience, or the evolution of our nation in respect to the concept of Service.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
