This qualitative study chose the cadet troop of FHK College as\u00a0its research target because the culture of its training program promotes\u00a0helping principles and the cadets will potentially be future\u00a0professionals serving the mental health of the Taiwanese. Using\u00a0focus groups, this study explored the experiences of the cadets and\u00a0how military discipline influenced helping work in the military field\u00a0in terms of military rank culture. Furthermore, this study discusses\u00a0what has been learned in the practice of Taiwan military mental\u00a0health primary prevention and social work education. Results indicate\u00a0that cadets learn to adjust themselves from the conflicts between\u00a0commanding and helping and develop tacit knowledge. It is\u00a0important to realize how military rank culture influences military\u00a0personnel\u2019s interactions. Because of bureaucratic and institutional\u00a0factors, distinct and varied dynamics occur among cadet troops when\u00a0helping principles meet military discipline. From the viewpoint of\u00a0social work, the authors then discuss the practice of Taiwanese military\u00a0mental health primary prevention and point toward a paradox\u00a0between helping principles and military bureaucratic culture largely\u00a0due to the military mental health framework involved inside the\u00a0chain of command. All of the helpers are directed by their commanders\u00a0rather than their helping supervisors. Some cadets develop a new\u00a0vision from group experiences with their troops which is outside of\u00a0the social work classroom education context. The authors argue that\u00a0Taiwan military social work should develop contextualized, practical\u00a0knowledge compatible with its dual focus: (the cultivation of both)\u00a0concern about both organizations and soldiers. It should also raise\u00a0awareness of rank influences and take suitable actions when faced\u00a0with the inherit conflicts within the scheme. Suggestions for policy\u00a0and practice are given.<\/p>\n
