A performance audit of the VETS management controls over the TAP. TAP was established in 1990 to provide employment assistance -- such as resume preparation and interviewing techniques -- to separating and retiring military personnel and their spouses during their period of transition from military service to the civilian workplace. Due to the severe economic recession, the unemployment rate of separating and retiring military personnel rose from 9.8% in 2009 to 11.8% in 2010. The rate of unemployment among returning soldiers aged 18-24 is 22%. This audit answers the question: Did VETS' TAP have effective management controls to ensure it provided employment assistance to vets? Charts and tables. A print on demand pub.

The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
