Homework: Military Social Work- Separating War from the Warrior
As much as serving in the military can become part of one's identity, experiences from combat duty can leave lasting impressions and potentially damage one physically, emotionally, and psychologically. When working with active duty military personnel, veterans, and their families, it is important to recognize that experiences in combat can become central and that many of these individuals are unable to separate themselves from their combat experiences.
For this Homework locate two additional peer reviewed journal articles about combat trauma.
Task (3 to 4 pages):
i. Describe combat trauma and its impact on identity.

v. Support your strategies with two scholarly articles. Provide full APA-formatted citations for your references.
