A large number of combat veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) combat veterans are returning from deployment and reintegrating to civilian communities. As a result of their combat and military experiences, some veterans may return with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), possibly resulting in impaired social functioning and a diminished overall quality of life (Fontana & Rosenheck, 2004; Pietrzak, Johnson, Goldstein, Malley, & Southwick, 2009). Despite such negative outcomes known to accompany military service, the strong bonds formed among military members may influence one's life satisfaction and promote successful reintegration to civilian life. The goal of the present study was to determine the impact of the interconnecting associations of stressors (combat exposure, PTSD symptoms), personal resources (perceived unit support and social support), and functional health (psychological resilience) and life satisfaction among OIF/OEF veterans who have reintegrated within the last 11 years, since discharging from military service. Results showed, veterans who had greater levels of unit cohesion, social support, and psychological resilience reported greater life satisfaction and lower PTSD symptomatology than veterans with less unit cohesion and later social supports. More combat exposure indicated greater PTSD symptomatology. Promoting social connectedness and cohesion will help facilitate a sense of belonging and purpose to increase successful reintegration, life satisfaction, and reduce mental health symptoms.
