Veteran's reintegration is becoming an issue of national importance as result of the closing of two United States war operations in the Middle East. Returning veterans from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) are faced with new challenges compared to veterans in the past (Berglass et al, 2012). This situation leaves families, work-sites and social programs with new issues to face in aiding the reintegration and assimilation of veterans into society. Today's veterans are not provided with enough support systems and programs to enable them to create a foundation of healthy, supportive and useful military peer relationships upon their return from duty. Therefore, this research asks: how are returning veterans from OIF and OEF in Southern Oregon impacted in relation to military peer groups and support during the reintegration process? This presentation first introduces and provides background knowledge regarding three key elements, (1) Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF); (2) Reintegration as both a general and military specific term; and (3) Military peer relationships.
