Lifting Our Sights: Beyond 2030 – the Impact of Future Trends on the Transition of our Armed Forces Community from Military to Civilian Life

Summary: The Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) commissioned Future Agenda to undertake a year-long study looking at “Future trends and their impact on the Armed Forces Community in 2030 and beyond - with a focus on transition.” The aim was to better understand future social, technical, economic, environmental, political, and ethical trends, in order to ensure that transitioning Service personnel and their families have the best possible opportunity to make a successful and sustainable shift to civilian life. This report provides an overview of this study and highlights the incremental, and more significant, shifts that may impact the transition experience, and the transition journey.
