4/2 SBCT in Transition

Sep- 1-2008 » Filed Under: 4/2 SBCT

Christian Hill with The Olympian has an article discussing some of the efforts by the 4/2 SBCT to help its soldiers adjust to life at home. Excerpt:

They've stopped fighting in Iraq and begun grappling with the memories and trauma of their 14-month deployment.

In turn, the 4th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team), is arming soldiers and families with information like never before so combat-related stress doesn't destroy relationships or lead to alcoholism or suicide. [...]

The leadership of an infantry battalion took another step. The officers invited a PTSD expert to speak to the soldiers and the families of the entire brigade after its return.
