I just put a name to it: the “reboot program”, as in rebooting a computer. It's a question of catching them as soon as possible, trying to encourage the use of biometrics so that we can immediately be tracking troops coming off a tour, right away.
There's one technique called M-wave. It has a part that can track your nervous system, and it's very plain to see when you're becoming highly triggered. People outside the unit can review data over the course of a week to see where people are having issues and then catch them at the earliest phase.
What happens is, they mask one symptom and more develop; they mask those—they mask everything they can—and they start self-medicating. As you're masking, it's coming out in bad ways: anger around the family—around the kids, around the wife. We need to catch it at square one. Rather than wait for a guy to go for five months or five years or more trying to just get to the end of their career, we need to catch it early on.
Educational systems don't necessarily focus these days very much on life skills. One foundational life skill I'd like to see more teaching of for soldiers concerns mental health. This might possibly be a point to catch them at the earliest phase, if you take them away for one month out of the unit and give them some good skills for how to cope without having to use pharmaceuticals per se.
