  10. INITIATIVES SHOULD BE BROADLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS LEVELS OF FAMILIARITY AND TIMING Familiarity Bubble size reflects impact of initiative • Familiar • Knowledge exists internally • Easily acquired knowledge • Involves execution risk 1 2 3 A broad range of initiatives spacing the grid is necessary to ensure both short-term upside and a long-term pipeline of opportunities 4 5 6 • Unfamiliar • Knowledge limited • Attempt small to mid-size investments • Uncertain • Possibility of success difficult to estimate • Can be overcome with passage of time • Attempt small initial investment to gain familiarity 7 8 9 1-2 years 2-4 years 4+ years Timeto Impact • Near-term objectives • Intermediate objectives • Long-term objectives

  11. Stakeholder Interviews Stakeholders reiterated importance of Family Programs as a component of Readiness • There are readiness implications for family programs or programs related to our ability to recruit the military. • We have to do what is right by those who are willing to serve and their families - but what is the right balance? It is great that the pulse of the country is supportive of the military. From a cost standpoint, someone really does have to say there is a cost-benefit to this. This really is an affordability issue. • When the soldier gets broken, so does the family. We need the behavioral health professionals [and resilience building tools] to address the impact on the person and the family. • Partner with non-federal entities to make programs for families and members more robust • Care for families and not just talk about it—be in top ten of companies to work. • Consider the needs of reservists who are ready and willing to deploy along with Active Duty members. • We need to quit looking down stovepipes to solve problems. We need to put the power of P&R behind solving problems and be more directive rather than leaving the problems for the Services or others to solve. • Educational programs (including schools K-12) should be equitable regardless of location
