Prepping Vets for Private Sector Careers

摘要

The U.S. military drawdown in Afghanistan, and further goverment budget cutbacks, are creating an exodus of sorts as veterans enter the civilian world. The Obama administration expects to cut the active-duty army from a wartime peak of 570,000 soldiers to about 450,000. Further downsizing will create a surplus of veterans looking for jobs-in an employment market that remains muddled at best. If there's one sector with steady demand for the kind of disciplined skillset coming out of the army, it's supply chain management. Still, military and private sector logistics are not the same.
