About 200,000 service members leave the military annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separating troops and their spouses already have access to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militaryonesource.mil\/transition-retirement\/separation\/transition-assistance-programs-and-resources\" target=\"_blank\"> Military OneSource services<\/a> through the Department of Defense for one year after they leave the service.
