WASHINGTON (AP) - The Army is trying to teach all of its soldiers to recognize symptoms of brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder — and not be ashamed of seeking treatment for the signature injuries of the Iraq war.
And the Pentagon also said Tuesday it would increase the number of R&R days troops can take while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Beginning Wednesday, service leaders will start a program to educate more than 1 million soldiers within 90 days, whether at home or deployed overseas, including active duty soldiers, the Army Reserve and the Army National Guard. The program also will be made available to families.
