“…Albeit representing a small number of educational institutions in the US, the impact of the 'Joining forces' initiative is evident, with a number of papers indicating their innovation was linked to this initiative (Harmer and Huffman, 2012;Beckford and Ellis 2013;Jones and Breen, 2015;Morrison-Beedy, Passmore and D'Aoust, 2015). The educational innovations for students through a VA health academy are the basis of other papers (Anthony et al, 2012;Nye, Keller & Wren, 2013;Harper et al 2015).…”

“…Educating faculty on the needs of military students in higher education and how to best support this population is important to facilitating VS success (Morrison-Beedy et al, 2015;Sikes et al, 2021). One example is Green Zone Training which is designed to increase faculty and staff awareness of military students' needs and resources to support their transition to civilian college environments (Chargualaf et al, 2023;Gibbs et al, 2019;Prasad et al, 2020).…”

Background: Military Veterans (MVs) face unique challenges that are important to recognize when building supportive academic environments. There is a need to broaden our understanding of the diverse student population within academia, requiring us to hear their voices and deduce facilitators and barriers to their academic transition and success. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the unique needs of MV students and understand obstacles and facilitators for successful transition and completion for MV students entering a civilian baccalaureate program. Method: This study was guided by a phenomenological approach; we conducted three focus group interviews with Veteran students (n = 17) and conducted verbatim transcription thematic analysis. Results: Three themes were identified that impacted student success: (1) military experience prepared me for academic challenges, (2) defining my new role, and (3) no one left behind. Specific exemplars for thematic components to support transitioning into a civilian academic program included incorporating a military liaison for academic guidance and mentoring, acknowledging baseline skills using competency-based cohorts, and facilitating opportunities for connecting with other Veterans. Conclusion: Preparation of faculty and staff to better understand MV’s specific needs in civilian academic environments is needed.

“…Furthermore, such a specialty would act as a nexus, intertwining the specialized medical approaches of the military healthcare system with the broader resources and practices available in civilian healthcare. By doing so, a seamless continuum of care can be achieved, allowing military personnel and veterans to access tailored medical interventions irrespective of their healthcare setting [64].…”

(1) Background: Military personnel and veterans meet unique health challenges that stem from the complex interplay of their service experiences, the nature of warfare, and their interactions with both military and civilian healthcare systems. This study aims to examine the myriad of injuries and medical conditions specific to this population, encompassing physical and psychological traumas. (2) Methods: A scoping review (systematic search and non-systematic review) was performed to evaluate the current landscape of military healthcare. (3) Results: A significant change in the injury profile over time is identified, linked to shifts in combat strategies and the integration of advanced technologies in warfare. Environmental exposures to diverse chemical or natural agents further complicate the health of service members. Additionally, the stressors they face, ranging from routine stress to traumatic experiences, lead to various mental health challenges. A major concern is the gap in healthcare accessibility and quality, worsened by challenges in the civilian healthcare system’s capacity to address these unique needs and the military healthcare system’s limitations. (4) Conclusions: This review underscores the need for holistic, integrated approaches to care, rigorous research, and targeted interventions to better serve the health needs of military personnel and veterans.
