The Pentagon’s Inspector General has been keeping close watch on the progress of a Congressionally mandated Mental Health Task Force, states an IG release. The task force, comprising seven DOD members and seven non-DOD members, has been charged to scrutinize measures to provide adequate mental health care to veterans of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The task force report is due to the Secretary of Defense in May 2007.
While the Space Force is still making long-term plans to establish high-fidelity live and virtual test and training ranges in the coming years, officials say they're also working with operators to identify near-term gaps and quickly field capabilities to address them.
