Battle Buddy is a
partner assigned to each soldier of the
United States Armed Forces that assists one another in and out of
combat. There are
pros and cons of having a battle buddy:
security vs responsibility. Although there are downsides for battle buddies, most Army soldiers were satisfied and agreed to have the Army
practice it. A battle buddy is not only for company (
friend) but the reduction of
suicide since each person watches each others actions; intervention of a battle buddy's negative thoughts and feelings can save a soldier's life.

Furthermore, In 2009, there were 344 suicides from military soldiers (211 were from the Army). Military officials and law legislatures needed to find ways to decrease the suicide rates in the military and one effective program is the assignment of battle buddies.Military leaders spend billions of dollars for mental services promote mental health services. One way that prevents suicide is the assignment of each soldier to a battle buddy. [1] [2]</ref>

I am here to tell all of you that being a battle buddy to someone is the best gift you can give him."

The result of the move request was: speedy close. I think you are requesting to replace the current article with your article, but that's not how we do things - you'll be better off just editing the already existing article. Additionally as noted by 64.229.101.119 this request is badly formatted. It should be on the talk page not here, it should have a target rather than NewName (which means you didn't change it when you copy and pasted) and should have a rationale, again rather than just the default text.
