IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America)

IAVA's authority structure reflects its organizational type — post-9/11 veterans — with varying degrees of national versus local authority distribution appropriate to its score level.

IAVA operates with foundational commitments defining its organizational identity. For fraternal and veterans organizations, these commitments reflect shared service, camaraderie, and mutual support rather than unfalsifiable sacred claims.

IAVA's mission — healthy advocacy structure — provides organizational purpose appropriate to its score tier.

Identity sublimation at very low intensity. IAVA membership draws on members' military service identity rather than creating a new institutional identity. Score 2 reflects negligible identity demands in a voluntary veterans' advocacy organization. Source: IAVA institutional documentation.

IAVA's information environment reflects its organizational type, with minimal information restriction for lower-scoring organizations.

IAVA's vocabulary reflects its organizational type — ritual language for fraternal organizations, advocacy language for veterans groups.

IAVA's Us-Versus-Them dynamics reflect its organizational position — mild boundary maintenance for low-scoring organizations, more defined for higher-scoring ones.

IAVA's member contribution expectations reflect standard organizational models for its type, with financial and time contributions appropriate to its score level.

IAVA's exit costs are minimal to moderate — proportional to its 19% score and the depth of social identity developed through organizational participation.

Ends-justify-the-means dynamic at minimal intensity. IAVA has no documented ends-justify-means institutional behavior — it is a member advocacy organization for veterans without enforcement mechanisms that could produce harm. Score 1 reflects the absence of the C10 dynamic. Source: IAVA institutional documentation.
