Book excerpt: Transitioning from active military duty back into civilian life is a common and expected part of the lives of those who serve in the military. Yet returning to civilian life often creates unique challenges. Research shows that comprehensive support for service members and veterans during the transition back into civilian life is critical for veteran short- and long-term well-being and success. Too often transitioning service members and veterans face difficulties learning about and accessing the robust benefits and services they have earned. This research paper outlines the current state of the transition process for members of the military and discusses support options available through the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
