The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) is a U.S. Department of Defense-led program that provides service members with resources for life after the military. Other U.S. agencies that participate in the process include the U.S. Department of Labor, Department of Veterans Affairs, Small Business Administration, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Education, and Office of Personnel Management.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DoDTAP.mil )〕 The program offers curricula for service members through classroom training and online through the Joint Knowledge Online portal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=JKO )〕 ==History== In 1990, as the U.S. military's post-Cold War drawdown was beginning, the United States Congress authorized through , which became PL 101-510〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Public Law 101-510 )〕 a set of benefits and services to assist military personnel in the transition to civilian life. Many of these authorities continued until 2011, when President BarackObama announced plans for the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs to design a "reverse boot camp" to improve the transition from military to civilian life.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Obama Announcement )〕 In late 2011, the Congress modified the program through , which became PL 112-56.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Public Law 112-56 )〕 Major modifications to the program authorized in PL 112-56 included mandatory participation for all service members, standardized curriculum and learning outcomes, expanded timeline and smaller class sizes, the requirement to have components of the program spread throughout a service member's military career, completion of Career Readiness Standards, and the verification by a commander of a service member’s career readiness. On average, 200,000 service members leave the military each year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Military Separations )〕 In 2015, the director of the Transition to Veterans Program Office, the U.S. Department of Defense office that governs the Transition Assistance Program, was nominated for the Partnership for Public Service's Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal award in the category of Management Excellence for "her efforts to redesign the Transition Assistance Program" to comply with PL 112-56.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SAMMIE Award )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transition Assistance Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
