Average Burden per Response: 90 minutes. Frequency: One-Time. The Building Healthy Military Communities (BHMC) pilot is a multiyear initiative that aims to better understand unique challenges faced by geographically dispersed Service members and their families that may impact force readiness and well-being. The BHMC pilot is conducting a Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA) to establish a baseline assessment of readiness requirements and available resources to support these requirements at a state level, as well as to identify current gaps in resources for Service members across all components. The RNA is part of an effort to enrich the DoD’s methodology for creating a well-informed strategic plan aimed at optimizing force readiness and well-being through community capacity building and better coordination among DoD and non-DoD resources. To conduct this assessment, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness (OASD(R)), in collaboration with the National Guard Bureau (NGB), Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), and the Services within the Reserve Component, will conduct interviews with program representatives at the federal, DoD, state, and local community level to gather qualitative data on their programs and services, the population(s) served by their programs, and the program manager’s observations on salient issues impacting the wellbeing of Service members and their families. The in-person interviews conducted during the RNA will give a unique perspective into all Services and components regarding gaps in available resources that impact readiness and well-being. The RNA is a one-time event expected to last from November 2017 to April 2018. Dated: September 19, 2017. Aaron Siegel, Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
