This book contributes important new insights into how deployment on
international military missions affects soldiers and their lives.
Using both quantitative data and in-depth interviews, the authors
provide a longitudinal perspective covering the participants in
these missions before, during, and after deployment on a large
range of life outcomes. The research centres around four key
themes; who are the men and women who choose to be deployed; why do
they choose to be deployed; what challenges do these soldiers face
before, during, and after returning home from a mission; and what
are the consequences of deployment for the soldiers' individual
lives? Danish soldiers provide an illustrative study and data is
drawn from administrative registries and is supplemented with
broader surveys of present and former soldiers, in-depth interviews
of parents and other relatives, and support group professionals.
Using specifically constructed datasets and comparing these
soldiers with relevant control groups, this book offers a unique
analysis of the impact of deployment on important issues such as
personal finances, the labour market, criminal activity, smoking
and drinking, and overall health. Mapping a full portrait of the
men and women who choose to be deployed, and explaining both their
initial motivations, this book highlights the challenges they face
before and during deployment and upon returning home.
