Divorce Rate in Military

The divorce rate in the military refers to the proportion of service members who divorce during or after their service period. It is often expressed as a percentage of military marriages that end in divorce within a specific time frame, such as a year. Factors influencing this rate include frequent relocations, long deployments, stress from combat, and the demands of military life. Generally, the military has historically reported higher divorce rates compared to civilian populations, but efforts are ongoing to address and reduce these challenges through support programs and counseling.
