Soldiers from a brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, were alleged to have committed numerous crimes, including murder of civilians, during a recent deployment. This study was done to assist the command with (1) analyzing the climate and challenges facing redeploying Soldiers; (2) assessing behavioral risk at both individual and unit levels through targeted reintegration screening; and (3) recommending mitigating strategies to enhance current reintegration processes and reduce the level of high-risk behavior among Soldiers following deployment. The findings from this public health investigation suggest levels of risk and major areas of concern during the redeployment period varied across battalions within the brigade and that risk stratification postdeployment was not correlated with discernible differences in predeployment indicators. Acts of violence were limited to the deployment and immediate postdeployment periods and were allegedly perpetrated by a very small number of Soldiers.
据称，华盛顿州刘易斯-麦科德联合基地一个旅的士兵在最近一次部署期间犯下了许多罪行，包括谋杀平民。开展这项研究是为了协助司令部：(1) 分析重新部署的士兵面临的氛围和挑战；(2) 通过有针对性的重新融入筛查评估个人和单位层面的行为风险；(3) 推荐缓解策略，以加强当前的重新融入流程，并降低士兵部署后高风险行为的程度。这项公共卫生调查的结果表明，重新部署期间各营的风险水平和主要关注领域各不相同，而且部署后的风险分层与部署前指标的明显差异无关。暴力行为仅限于部署期间和刚部署后，据称是极少数士兵所为。
