AB In  the  past  half-century,  there  have  been  dozens  of  major  armed  conflicts  involving  millions  of  combatants  from  numerous  countries  throughout  the  world.  Several  of  these  wars  have  been  multinational  in  scope  and  have  involved  the  deployment  of  large  numbers  of  ground  forces  from  their  home  countries  to  distinct  areas  of  conflict  in  developing  portions  of  the  world,  such  as  southwestern  and  central  Asia  (e.g.,  Iraq,  Afghanistan)  and  Africa.  In  the  United  States  alone,  there  are  estimated  to  be  more  than  18  million  living  veterans,  many  of  whom  served  in  combat  theaters.
