This book explores the process through which service members transition from military to civilian life, and the implications of that transition on their mental and physical well-being and functioning. The authors present a theoretical framework that helps conceptualize the process of military transition. The theory is broken into three overlapping components: approaching military transition, which outlines the personal, cultural and transitional factors that create the base of the transition trajectory; managing the transition, which explores the factors impacting the transition's trajectory; and assessing the transition, which describes the outcome of the transition in the realms of work, family, health, and general well-being. The authors then demonstrate how this framework can be applied to practice, providing an opportunity to redefine how we help veterans.

A performance audit of the VETS management controls over the TAP. TAP was established in 1990 to provide employment assistance -- such as resume preparation and interviewing techniques -- to separating and retiring military personnel and their spouses during their period of transition from military service to the civilian workplace. Due to the severe economic recession, the unemployment rate of separating and retiring military personnel rose from 9.8% in 2009 to 11.8% in 2010. The rate of unemployment among returning soldiers aged 18-24 is 22%. This audit answers the question: Did VETS' TAP have effective management controls to ensure it provided employment assistance to vets? Charts and tables. A print on demand pub.

The Nat. Defense Authorization Act for FY 2005 mandated that the GAO review whether the transition assistance program (TAP) is meeting the needs of service members leaving the military. This report: (1) assessed TAP administration, including program participation, & (2) identified actions agencies are taking to improve TAP & challenges that remain. TAP serves military personnel with at least 180 days of active duty who separate or retire & members of the Reserves & National Guard who are released from active duty, a process termed demobilization. Recently, the Reserves & National Guard have been called to active duty in greater numbers than at any other time since the Korean War. Includes recommendations. Charts & tables.
