Marine commanders would be required to intervene in cases in which combat-hardened Marines with clean records have gotten into trouble after suffering combat stress, under a proposed order.

The directive, which has not yet been signed by Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway, would require medical officers to screen for combat stress or traumatic brain injury all Marines who engage in uncharacteristic misconduct after returning from combat.

...

“Post-deployment misconduct, especially in a Marine who previously served honorably, must be considered a possible indicator of an undiagnosed stress injury or a mild traumatic brain injury that, if confirmed, deserves immediate and comprehensive treatment,” the order said

Comment: According to Marine Corps leadership principles and traits a good leader knows his Marines, looks out for their welfare and is approachable. This policy is well intentioned but may be superfluous. At best it is a safety net for catching Marines with problems but it may cause an undo burden on an already taxed medical system.
