The education program is geared towards attaining a level of awareness on the
symptoms of brain injuries and the PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. According
to earlier statements by the federal and state governments, TBI and PTSDA are the

Los Angeles, California, July 20, 2007 - The Army\'s program on TBI education
commences before the end of July. Its goal is to sufficiently educate and train the
Army inside of 90 days. This program will be carried out regardless of whether the
soldiers are in the country or overseas. Aside from the active military, the program
also includes the Army Reserves and even the Army National Guard.

Inclusive in the program, everyone must receive a briefing for an hour, regarding
brain injuries or TBI, and stress disorders. Their teachers will be adequately
equipped with educational videos, presentation slides and a list of the expected
questions that would likely be addressed and the appropriate answers for them. The
series of education sessions is going to be conducted using a rarely used method of
teaching, the \"chain teach\" program. This works by teaching the leaders, who will
then teach what they have learned to the soldiers and continue down based from the
Army\'s \"chain of command\".

In order to keep track of the injured and wounded soldiers from the Iraq war, a
conflict that has gone far longer than projected, the U.S. Department of Defense and
the Army has promulgated various programs geared towards education and treatment of
those who have survived. This is especially needed since there is an overwhelming
rise in the number of patients from the war. The TBI and PTSDA awareness and
education program is one of them.

The top killer and tormentor of the U.S. Army soldiers deployed in the Iraq
battlefields are the insurgent tactics of implanting roadside bombs. This tactic is
specifically liable for the brain injuries incurred by many. It would range from
mild concussions up to serious brain traumas also massively affecting the nervous
system.

Additionally, the combat exposure and long, repeated tours is also the primary
reason for increased stress and mental health illnesses being acquired by the
soldiers.

According to the Army officials, almost 20% of he troops are expected to return from
Iraq and Afghanistan wars with brain injuries and symptoms of stress disorders.
Thus, it is very important to propagate the education program and consequently, the
medical treatment for those who have symptoms.
