Abstract
As American communities welcome home U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, it is important to understand the unique set of circumstances for military personnel who served in these Middle Eastern regions. Differences in deployment, the type of injuries sustained, and the mixture of personnel continue to affect transitions from military service and reintegration into civilian life.
