SOLDIER TO SOLDIER,
A POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD) SEMINAR
FOR SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS WHO SERVE OUR NATION
This three module PTSD course is presented to assist the
returning or returned combat zone veteran, military or civilian, and is applicable to personnel in all military branches.


I. COURSE INTENT: For Course Participants
a. to understand PTSD, its effects and impacts, and offer some answers on how to deal
with it in their on-going lives and careers.
b. to understand the practicalities of PTSD and what it actually means to them.
c. to understand how PTSD can be turned, in some aspects, from negative to positive and that they have that ability.

II. PRESENTATION OF THIS COURSE:
a. This course is designed to be presented by an Instructor for required class interaction.
Suggested class size is 50-75 personnel. In the course of an 8-hour day = 100-150 attendees
b. The course is of three (approximately) 45 minute modules with 10-15 minute breaks between modules.
Total approximate course time: 2 ¾ - 3 hours
c. At the end of Module 3 each participant is given a Certificate of Attendance and shall keep his/her copy
of this course’s lesson plan.
d. Facility Requirements: Any standard classroom with white board, lectern and microphone system, power outlets,
seating/tables and available washroom(s).

III. COURSE INSTRUCTOR/AUTHOR
SFC (ret.) Mark E. Keller presents this course in a Soldier-to-Soldier format. He is neither a psychologist nor a social worker
and will not present this course in that fashion.
It is, rather, presented by a soldier who has seen PTSD firsthand from three tours in Vietnam (1969-1971)
as an aerial scout (B Trp, 1/9 Cav), helicopter doorgunner (Co B, 229th AHB), infantryman (B Trp, 1/9 Cav) and Ranger (Co H, 75th IN).
His awards include three Purple Hearts, the Distinguished Flying Cross, Combat Infantryman’s Badge, Aircraft Crewman’s
Badge and others.
With almost forty years of reflection on this subject, during which he completed a total time of 27 years in US Army
and National Guard service, SFC (ret) Keller has both personally dealt with and helped others deal with the inevitable
consequences of combat zone service.
Mentoring and instructing come naturally after many years in service in leadership positions.
And so presentation of this critical subject by a mature and trusted sergeant who “has been there” ensures that a
service member or civilian employee attending this course will gain great benefit for both continuing service
and personal/family welfare.
