Operation Joint Endeavor

Abstract : This report (1) provides an overview of the Operation Joint Endeavor (OJE) research project; (2) provides a reference list of the research products resulting from the project; and (3) describes ARI's key findings regarding soldier and family attitudes toward their experiences in the OJE deployment. ARI's findings, based on surveys and interviews, identify areas of success and areas needing improvement in Training and Preparation, Assessment of Leaders, Soldier Tasks, Quality of Life, Impact of Deployment, Army Support for Families, and Family Attitudes about OJE. Army planners can use these findings as an additional tool as they continue efforts to cope with the challenges of future deployments.
