The Nation's Duty: Challenging Society’s Disservice to a new Generation of Veterans

Summary: This report focuses exclusively on veterans under 50. In a rapidly changing world, and at a time when the shape of the Armed
Forces is being re-defined, the concept of a career for life is increasingly being challenged. More men and women are leaving the Armed Forces at a younger age. So it is more important than ever they get the help they need to transition smoothly into civilian life, where they will spend most of their working lives. Our recommendations are outlined in full at the end of this report. They include action points that can be embraced by all sections of society and are not exclusively targeted at the Government or the military; a new Veterans ID card; a nationwide one-to-one support scheme and an education programme for employers
