From the Paper:

"The physical and mental welfare of men and women in the military is a fundamental concern in its management. That welfare necessarily requires sufficient funding for these soldiers, and provision for adequate diagnostic equipment and treatment of known and unknown physical and mental health problems. These health problems include operational stress, medically unexplained physical symptoms of certain disorders, suicides and the lack of an effective tool to measure family readiness in confronting deployment stress."
