From the preface: "The United States has deployed an unprecedented number of U.S. federal government civilians to theaters of conflict over the past two decades to perform a wide variety of tasks, from administrative support to development assistance and diplomatic functions. As more civilians have deployed, increasing numbers have been exposed to highthreat environments and high levels of stress. Studies of civilians, both government-employed and contractors, deployed to theaters of conflict over the past two decades indicate that combat exposure and related stressors correlate with significant levels of deployment-related health conditions for this population. Anecdotal evidence further confirms that deployed civilians face similar deployment-related challenges as those experienced by military personnel, in terms of health conditions and family challenges associated with lengthy deployments. Based on this prior work and evidence, there is likely a need for civilian postdeployment reintegration support."
