Figure 3. Resiliency Hybrid for Military is the fused theoretical framework of the project. In this diagram, the centermost part of the circle is the resiliency wheel (blue colored section), which is the heart of the project under the auspices of action research theory. The synergistic effect of both theories create a seamless interaction with the Complex Adaptive theory that leads to survival and resiliency. This fused theory provides the overall theoretical framework in creating participatory research in dealing with resiliency among military communities. Unfortunately, soldiers and their families could not avoid stress, added with the constant bombardment of multiple deployments and housing moves create an environment of extreme stress and sense of chaos. Instead of reducing the unavoidable stress, soldiers are taught that perceive stress and chaos as an opportunity for growth and fulfillment. It is all about perception and looking at the glass half-full instead of half-empty. And with action research as the backbone of the project, the soldiers and veterans together with their families, government employees, contractors, and other stakeholders have the opportunity to brainstorm, network, collaborate and eventually celebrate the success of their community project that will improve the lives of any military in their community. The centermost part is human resiliency which is subject to improvisation and interpretations of the community. The circular shape of the fused theory
