The lack of debriefing for family members of combat soldiers.
In the last decade since the war in the Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq began, each year thousand of soldiers are coming back home from deployment to families who do not know how to handle the changes their loving soldier will face coming back from most likely horrendous experiences.
Normally, before deployment, soldiers would be briefed as to what to expect in the war zone, such as housing and personal hygiene accommodations or lack thereof. Also, coming back from deployment, soldiers would have a debriefing session from their respective unit to make them aware as to what to expect adjusting back to civilian and base community.

Senate Committee on Armed Services develop an S.O.P (Standard Operating Procedures) designed to help military units on how to be more effective in handling the need to brief family members on the affects of war on a soldier’s behavior. Standard Operating Procedures: A Unit’s Guide to Family Preparedness of Returning Soldiers, its target audience would be the Command Sergeant Major and First Sergeant of the military unit who have been deployed in a combat mission. The objectives would be
• To educate family members about the feelings of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) the soldier may experience returning from deployment.
• To give family members information and tips about how to detect signs of PTSD and how to communicate with the retuning soldier to get counseling as a family.
• To provide family members information on where to go to get help for the soldier and also for children and other family …show more content…
Senate Committee on Armed Services have a few options when dealing with this issue; first would be to ignore this problem and let it go as is, that is to say that returning soldiers and their family are left without any specific debriefing and let the local police and hospitals deal with the complications of PTSD. However, the social issue that arises with PTSD is complex and affects everyone in this country.
At this moment in 2016, all of the US military branches do not have a Standard Operating Procedure for military family members. Suicide is continuously rising among returning veterans from the beginning of the Gulf War to the present. Alcohol and drug abuse are common among veterans, and as a result, they cannot keep their job, they might be cut off from their family members and most veterans find themselves homeless, this in turn affect the community.
I think it is very essential to bring to the forefront the people who are sacrificing their love ones for this country. The communities that are receiving veterans should be aware of possible mental issues that could potentially affect domestic violence, children behavior and even workplace
