Challenges There were several challenges outlined above however the greatest will be that of the military leadership and culture as a whole. A large organization is difficult to change with a simple revision of policy. Changing the culture will require a sort of epidemic to take hold and stick for the long term. Finding the right solution that would appeal to the younger generation will stick long term, such as finding a connection that they can relate to. The following embedding mechanisms may be considered to emphasize the finalized policy change: leadership review of metrics such as frequency, reenergize core values and ethos by leadership, vision that focuses on the profession and assignment of right agency and staff to lead the change. …show more content…

This can be implemented through an amendment of the fraternization policy by prohibiting romantic behavior among military members.
I propose the development of a Task Force that includes, but is not limited to the J1 staff, Judge Advocate General staff, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO), and civilian sector human resource professionals such as SHRM. The Task Force Chairman should come from the Under Secretary of Department of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD (P&R)). The chair would have the resources available to assist in the development of focused objectives to adopt such a policy change. The timeline to achieve such a broad, pre-launch recommendation is two to three years based on funding and implementation schedules. The most important phase is pre-launch whereby the right stewards are selected to sell the story, creating the start for cultural change. This Task Force should be charged with developing the recommendation outlined above into actual policy language that can be presented to the Secretary of Defense. The main objective for the Task Force is changing the fraternization policy, considering the second and third order effects of reenergizing the “profession”, eliminating dual-military personal relationships, enhancing mutual respect amongst the force, developing professional only relationships within the force, reducing sexual harassment, and eliminating sexual assault. The policy should also be evaluated so that it is simplistic for ease in interpretation and

Additionally, there was a severe disconnect between civilians and their troops serving overseas; without a clear visual of the enemy, and casualties far from the public eye, it was easier for society to ignore the ongoing status of the war. The Department of Defense’s bureaucratic system also made this challenge so difficult by stalling progress with the sheer number of approvals and checks that every initiative had to undergo while moving up the chain of command. Plus, the budgets for each department, while not set in stone, can take years of planning and then preparation to execute. Thus, rather than spending time creating new budget plans, time is spent trying to keep the current plan afloat. Overall, Gates attributes the DoD’s shortcomings to them being “structured to plan and prepare for war but not fight

In some aspects the military can be said to be an end in itself but the author has failed to address its primary role as servant to the ruling interests. Though the book has some lacunas but it cannot be denied that Kathleen Barry has done a pioneering work on the concept of empathy which is the most important trait in all human beings. It also needs to be inculcated in the soldiers on the battlefield also so that they can effectively differentiate between right and wrong. The book provides a fresh and broad reaching critique of militarised masculinity.

After watching and reflecting on the film The Invisible War, I was absolutely in disbelief that not only were these malicious acts of sexualized assault towards men and women in our nation’s military taking place, but I was also astonished that these feats were happening on such a large scale. This can be contributed to the lack of attention to the issue. Many, myself included before being educated by the film, are unaware of how present of an issue this is, and how far the matter reaches. The flawed justice system for men and women that are sexually assaulted while serving their country, is something that deeply struck me.
