While many veterans who served in the military after 11 September
2001, have successfully readjusted to civilian life with minimal
difficulties in the first few years after they were discharged,
others have experienced difficulties. These readjustment
difficulties include financial and employment, relationships,
legal, homelessness, and substance abuse. According to VA's
strategic plan, one of its strategic objectives is to improve
veteran wellness and economic security, and it states that the
ultimate measure of VA's success is the veteran's success after
leaving military service. However, there is limited and incomplete
data to assess the extent to which veterans experience readjustment
difficulties. Providing support and services for transitioning
veterans is a key issue facing the nation. This book examines what
is known about the extent to which veterans experience difficulties
during their readjustment to civilian life; and how VA assists
veterans in their readjustment, as well as what challenges and
opportunities exist. This book also addresses the status of the
Transition Assistance Program (TAP) implementation; the extent to
which elements of effective implementation and evaluation of TAP
have been addressed; and any challenges that may remain.
