A Profile of Army Families in USAREUR: Results of the 1983 Families in Europe Survey

Abstract : Family wellness, partnership with the Army, and sense of community were identified as important Army family issues in the White Paper, 'The Army Family' issued by the Chief of Staff in August 1983. This report presents the views and perceptions of over 1,000 Army families in USAREUR, both military members and spouses, with respect to family life in the Army and more specifically, family experiences associated with an overseas assignment. The data have been organized to serve as a reference source for Army planners and decision makers in their formulation and assessment of programs and policies that impact on Army families.
