Soldiers and Army spouses are looking for easier access to health care services and more support, particularly for their families and during the transition to civilian life, a new survey found. The 2021 Military Family Support Programming Survey, conducted by the Military Family Advisory Network, combines responses from 8,638 people, including military spouses and active-duty personnel, to highlight the experiences and needs of military families. Of the respondents, just over 40% were affiliated with the Army.

About 63% of respondents said they would recommend the military — a drop from about 75% in the survey completed in 2019. “That, to us, was concerning,” said Shannon Razsadin, executive director of Military Family Advisory Network.
