At the Gates of Fort Hood: Operation Recovery tells Gen. Campbell to put soldier care first.
At the gates and in the news:
This Memorial Day weekend marks one year since our Operation Recovery Campaign has started organizing at Fort Hood. In that time, we've talked with hundreds of soldiers there about their problems accessing mental health care. We've learned that there are a number of factors that inhibit care, and we are focusing on two big issues that are common concerns among Fort Hood soldiers:
1) Commanders routinely override or ignore the medical treatment plans (also known as medical "profiles") that soldiers get from their doctors.
2) Commanders regularly stigmatize soldiers who seek care through public humiliation or creating an environment of intimidation that discourages soldiers from speaking up for their own well being.
