Social Work in the Army

I have been looking for a good way of writing down the army's view on social problems. General Coutts has a great one in his book "No discharge in this war"

The quote is as follows:
It could therefore be justly said that the Army's approach to social problems is empirical, based on observation and experiment. Yet it is an empiricism born of the Christian truth that every human being is of value in the sight of God, and has as its end aim the redemption of the whole man - of himself, body, mind and soul, as well as his setting.
That says it fully! I believe that this mission should be the heart of all Social Work in the Army. I also hope it will be in the centre of my own heart!
