Post-Deployment Health And Reunion Resources

As servicemembers head homeward, they will have to transition from the stresses and hardships of deployment to the routines and stresses of life back home. Also, after returning from a deployment, many servicemembers experience minor, temporary changes in their health, mostly due to the realities of the mission, deployment travel, jet lag, adapting to a different schedule and diet. These effects should be temporary, and should diminish as the days go by. If these effects do not improve, or if they seem to worsen with time, they should be sure to see a health care provider.

The health and safety of the U.S. military are important during a deployment and are still important as they return. Some resources to assist with transition and reunion are listed to the left. They come from a variety of Department of Defense sources but all contain useful information, regardless of Service.
