The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors is reminding families — both military and civilian — that grief is a normal and acceptable response to hardships.
"Even with the adjusted timeline, this year’s Hanuman Guardian is the longest iteration of the exercise ever conducted," said a U.S. Army Pacific official.
Defender Pacific will expand in FY21 and the Army is asking for over $350 million to conduct the exercise as it seeks to strengthen ties and capability in the region.
Service members transitioning out of the military this year could be much more prepared for civilian life than their predecessors, thanks to some major changes coming to the Defense Department’s Transition Assistance Program.
