For instance, we went down and visited a place...read more

There are numerous challenges as a dual military family, many of which have increased greatly since the beginning of the Global War on Terrorism in 2001. The Army has made strides in identifying and working with dual military families, such as the Army Married Couples Program (MACP), but joint-domicile assignments are only a small part of the many complexities faced.
