Summary
Deployment can be a significant source of stress, which may result in post-deployment relationship concerns. The association between deployment and spousal aggression was examined among married, Active Duty Soldiers from 1990-1994.The likelihood of Soldiers perpetrating severe spousal aggression was significantly greater for those who had deployed in the past year, and the longer deployment a Soldier experienced, the higher their probability of perpetrating spousal aggression.
