Summary
Survey data from military families with children aged 12 years and under were utilized to evaluate the effect of childcare issues on military readiness and retention. Results of the survey revealed that available childcare services might not fully meet the needs of military families, thereby influencing military readiness and retention, particularly for military mothers.
