Anticipating the landscape in the years ahead: Military members transition to a post-war mission

  • Sherman, M. D., Larsen, J., Kuhl, M. W., Hawkey, K. R., & Borden, L. M. (2014). Anticipating the landscape in the years ahead: Military members transition to a post-war mission. Research report prepared for the Department of Defense.
  • Although a majority of service members are resilient and we do not anticipate that they will develop long-term difficulties, this review highlights increased risks for service members across six domains: mental health, social and role functioning, relationship functioning and family life, spirituality, physical health, and financial well-being. Although risk factors and future trajectories vary, psychiatric difficulties are a consistent predictor of a worsened course. Supporting service members in role functioning (in the classroom, in the family, and in the workforce) will be an important component of fostering wellness.
