Conference Host
The 2008 Marine Corps Combat Operational Stress Control (COSC) Conference was be held on August 12-14, 2008 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, CA.
Conference Purpose
The purpose of this conference was to bring together subject matter experts
and stakeholders in the Marine Corps COSC process, and to present, examine,
and become informed on COSC policies, programs, and practices specifically
tailored to Marines and their families. This is a warfighting issue. Representation
from command leadership is essential to improve Corps-wide efforts to
maximize force preservation and readiness. This year our goal was to
introduce the new Marine Corps COSC Continuum Model, which emphasizes the
importance of leadership roles in promoting wellness, prevention and early
identification of combat stress.
Conference Audience
The conference is designed to benefit Marines, leaders of Marines, mental
health professionals, Family Readiness staff, chaplains, medical providers,
policy makers, family members, veterans, and their advocates.
