DoD is dedicated to equipping separating service members with the basic job-hunting skills, tools, and self-confidence necessary to secure satisfying and productive employment in the civilian work force. Transition programs provide counseling, education, and employment assistance.

Similar services also are available for the spouses, and teenage and adult children of separating members; and DoD civilians affected by downsizing.
