Military Family Support Information
"At a recent 'chaplain's brief,' in which the military tries to prepare its soldiers for reintegration in the world, the officer in charge cited Army statistics that indicated 30 percent of the spouses believe deployment harms their marriages. The Army's Judge Advocate General Corps statistics put the divorce rate among soldiers as comparable to the civilian rate -- about 50 percent."
