Army Leadership Steps Up Efforts To Tackle Suicides

In a Jan. 8 memorandum, Gen. Peter Chiarelli, the Army's vice chief of staff, urged Army leaders to pay close attention to soldiers moving from one installation to another who might need extra assistance.  The Army had a record high number of suicides last year and experienced eight suicides in the first eight days of 2010.
