Purpose

This regulation prescribes the policies for the Soldier for Life - Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP). The SFL-TAP is a component of the Transition Soldier Life Cycle model, designed to deliver a world-class transition assistance program that will "prepare" Soldiers, Department of Army (DA) Civilians, retirees, and Soldiers' Family members for a new career, and "connect" Soldiers, with employers primed to hire veterans. The SFL-TAP ensures all eligible Soldiers in transition have the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and self-confidence necessary to be competitive and successful in the global workforce and to achieve their post military service goals. The SFL-TAP helps transitioning Soldiers, DA Civilians, retirees, and Soldiers' Family members make informed career decisions through benefits counseling, career preparation, and employment assistance to bring about a successful transition.

Applicability. This regulation applies to the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated
