Faith-Based Organizations and Veteran Reintegration: Enriching the Web of Support
Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are an important community-based resource for veterans as they readjust to civilian life. Through interviews with both national-level and smaller, local FBOs, the authors sought to understand better the current and potential roles for FBOs in veteran reintegration. Interviewees suggested that veterans may look to FBOs for support because they offer privacy and confidentiality, two features that may be especially c…

Military Spouse Employment: A Grounded Theory Approach to Experiences and Perceptions
This study responds to the recognition that the majority of military spouses have paid employment but that neither the Department of Defense nor other organizations understand their motivations for work or their perceptions of how the military lifestyle has affected their employment. This article summarizes the input from more than a thousand military spouses who participated in interviews for this research. Qualitative and quantitative methods w…
Gender- and Class-Based Role Expectations for Army Spouses
This chapter stems from previous academic research on the expectations for Army spouses. That work asserted a relationship between class identity and the expected gender-based roles for Army spouses, based on interviews with over one hundred military spouses of all ranks, as well as with military soldiers and other professionals who deal with issues relating to military families. 1 This paper further addresses the extent to which classbased ident…
Introduction: Subject, Audience, and Voice
Anthropologists emphasize a holistic approach, which is both the hallmark and most important contribution of anthropology to an understanding of any multicultural society. Contemporary anthropologists who focus on the U.S. incorporate a critical awareness of the modern world system and of our positions as researchers in multiple systems of hegemony, including our own position in terms of race, class, and gender. Our volume contributes to this bod…

An edited collection of ethnographic research that seeks to provide visions of and for US military culture from a solid anthropological base. The volume explores several important but relatively unkno
Army Officers' Spouses: Have the White Gloves Been Mothballed
This article is an in-depth ethnographic assessment of the role expectations for military spouses. In the late 1980s, the Department of Defense acknowledged the rights of military spouses to pursue their own careers and ruled that the attitudes and behaviors of officers' spouses would not be considered a factor in officer promotions or assignments. Given this policy and the increasing societal acceptance of female participation in the paid labor …
Why Don't Minorities Join Special Operations Forces
Following the Cold War, regional instability and lower-level conflict have increased, bringing with them enhanced roles and responsibilities for the U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF). As a result, ensuring and maintaining the personnel readiness of the SOF is critical. One of the major issues facing SOF is recruiting and ensuring ethnic diversity among its members. This study examines the racial and ethnic composition of SOF operators, and the…
New Opportunities for Military Women: Effects upon Readiness, Cohesion, and Morale
The role of women in the military has steadily been increasing since the early 1970s. The most recent changes occurred between 1992 and 1994, when both legislative and policy changes expanded opportunities for women. Congress has taken a keen interest in this process, and the House report for the Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 included as a special interest item a direction to the Secretary of Defense to evaluate the performance o…
