Σύνοψη	The Difficulty in Military-to-Civilian Transition Scale measures the severity of adjustment challenges experienced by separating and separated service members. It assesses distress across psychological, social, occupational, and identity domains as individuals transition from military life to civilian society. Used in VA clinical settings, military transition programs, and research, it identifies service members at risk for prolonged transition difficulty and informs targeted intervention.	The Military Identity Scale measures the extent to which a service member's self-concept and life meaning are organized around military role and identity. While no single standardized MIS exists, military psychology researchers have developed identity measures assessing how strongly military identity is internalized, influencing both in-service adjustment and post-deployment civilian reintegration. These scales examine the degree to which individuals identify with military values, roles, and belonging, with implications for both operational resilience and civilian transition outcomes.
