Abstract

A deployment risk and resilience model is proposed to describe military service and deployment-related factors influencing post-deployment reintegration and post-deployment behavioral health. Adapted from the resiliency model, it is a multiphasic framework consistent with biopsychosocial and strengths-based perspectives by focusing on vulnerability, risk, and resilience resulting from military service, deployment experiences, and feedback loops that occur over the life course. The article is divided into three broad sections that discuss (1) theoretical underpinnings of the model, (2) key components of the model, and (3) future directions for military social work practice.
