Summary
Active Duty U.S. Air Force Security Forces completed questionnaires and participated in a focus group post-deployment. Participants reported about supports for their intimate relationships. Participants cited a wide range of relationship-oriented topics that would have been helpful to have learned about across all phases of the deployment cycle. Many Service members reported concern that their non-deployed spouse lacked sufficient access to resources.
