Training
Army National Guard (ARNG) Resilience, Risk Reduction, and Suicide Prevention (R3SP) Campaign Plan developed the life and coping skills necessary to successfully handle the stressors in their lives as well as the ability to bounce back and have positive growth when a traumatic event occurs. This growth is known as post-traumatic growth and is the desired outcome of the resilience program.
Resilience and Army Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF):
The Army established CSF in order to increase the resilience and performance of Soldiers, Family members, and Department of the Army Civilians (DACs). CSF is a holistic approach that trains specific resilience techniques through a program of continuous self-development designed to increase physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and family strengths. The ARNG supports CSF as an element of the overall ARNG Resilience program to develop a fit, resilient, and ready ARNG. As part of the ARNG Resilience Program, CSF is a long term strategy to expand the assessment and training of every member of the Army, ARNG, and Army Reserve. It provides instruction on specific mental and physical skills that Service Members and Family Members can use to enhance performance when facing challenges, regardless of whether those challenges are in their personal / professional lives, during drill, or in combat. First line leaders (FLLs) are taught how to instill and sustain these qualities in their subordinates as part of their leadership training.
