Parental Deployment and Military Children: A Century of Research

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the consequences of temporary parental separation for children in US military families, arguably the most high-profile element of military experience. Although beyond our scope, we recognize other important aspects of military life affecting children, such as frequent relocations, chronic parental work stress, and risk of parental injury or death (NASEM, 2019). Furthermore, other children around the world face threat of war-related injury or death themselves.
