CSF - What is it? What is it not? CSF - What is it? What is it not?

AS OF: 04/19/23 22:18

CSF is…

“A structured, long term assessment and development program to build the resilience and

enhance the performance of every Soldier, Family member and DA civilian.”

Gen George Casey, CSA

CSF is not… Not just another mandatory training requirement

Not a “screen” for any physical or psychological disease or dysfunction, including suicide

Not something we “do” after a Soldier, Family member, or DA Civilian has a negative psychological, physical, social, or professional outcome
