Support for the 21st-Century Reserve Force: Insights to Facilitate Successful Reintegration for Citizen Warriors and Their Families : RAND Corporation , 2013
From the preface: "Since 2001, the National Guard and Reserve have been utilized at unprecedented levels to fill key operational capabilities in overseas contingencies, especially in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. For many guard personnel and reservists, this has resulted in multiple deployments as well as longer deployments, often placing a strain on their families, especially as these citizen warriors try to reintegrate back into their civilian lives after returning from deployment. This project used a survey and interviews about the reintegration experiences of guard and reserve families to better understand how these families are doing, the challenges they confront, the strategies and resources they use to navigate the reintegration phase of the deployment cycle, and what could be done to ensure that readjustment following deployment proceeds as smoothly as possible. This report should be of interest to policymakers, service members and their spouses, resource providers, and others concerned with how to improve support for guard and reserve families."
