The Army National Guard’s (ARNG’s) Decade of Health Campaign (DOH) will enter year four by launching a Ready and Resilient outreach campaign this year. This campaign will focus on maximizing the resilience of our ARNG Soldiers, Units, and Families by enhancing our abilities to adapt to and to recover from the many stresses of our challenging missions. With key links to Soldier and Family support issues, this campaign will also leverage the lessons learned and momentum gained from the three previous campaigns – dental readiness, blood pressure awareness, and healthy weight management.

“ARNG Soldiers and their Families continue to serve the nation proudly in two major operations while simultaneously taking the lead in Homeland Security. The scope of this mission is unprecedented and places considerable stress on the Guard Family.” writes LTG Clyde Vaughn. “It is most appropriate that the fourth year of the Decade of Health Program be the “Ready & Resilient” Campaign. I strongly support this Campaign.”

Strong partnerships with both the National Guard Family Program and the ARNG Soldier/Family Support and Services Division will strengthen campaign reach and participation. In support of the Decade of Health, the Army National Guard alliance with the American Heart/American Stroke Associations [AHA/ASA] will leverage the strengths of both organizations in fulfilling national objectives to create a culture of wellness for all Americans. This year the Alliance will leverage the AHA’s Cardiovascular Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training and tools as a part of Family readiness.
