The Army 2020 Generating Health and Discipline in the Force-Report 2012, often referred to as the Army Gold Book, was released last week; an update to the Army Red Book published in 2010.  The report summarizes progress made in enhancing health, discipline and readiness of the force and represents the next phase in the Army’s campaign to counter stress associated with more than a decade of war.

The Gold Book addresses the challenges that service members and families currently face and provides an assessment of what the Army has learned with respect to physical and behavioral health conditions, disciplinary problems and the remaining gaps in Army policy.  It is meant to serve as a resource for leaders, policy makers, commanders, and service providers, as they work together to address the challenges that lie ahead.
