Within the Global War on Terrorism the Navy has expanded the contribution its Sailors are bringing to the fight by assigning Sailors as Individual Augmentees (lAs) to Army and Marine Corps ground units throughout the CENTCOM AOR. The Navy has demonstrated a new capability while relieving some of the stress Army and Marine Corps units have felt from multiple deployments. This new policy has been extremely contentious and widely debated among Sailors. They consistently question the methods in which it has been implemented, the need for the program and the utility gained. Leadership has also done a substandard job providing information and support to Sailors ,and families directly affected by the program.
