This chapter examines the transition challenges facing military personnel to
moving to civilian employment, a major issue for nations like the USA that have
large armed forces. For such personnel, they seek to establish a career after a period
of service and often without the credentials required for existing or future job
vacancies. This chapter discusses the challenges of career transition from military
to civilian employment, largely in the context of the US-based literature. The
chapter proceeds to outline the range of obstacles to transition and then considers
remedial measures to support transition ranging from pre transition to post transition
support programs.
