Military Leadership's Guide to E2I: Supporting Recovery & Readiness

Learn how E2I serves as a powerful management tool to support your Service Members' recovery, readiness, and successful transition.

A Tool for Mission Readiness & Career Transition

You play a critical role in the well-being and career progression of your Service members. The Education & Employment Initiative (E2I) is an official DoW program designed to support you and your recovering Service members (RSMs) in this mission.

As a leader, your support enables RSMs to explore new opportunities. The E2I program connects them with valuable education, training, and certification resources. It also helps them gain work experience that can prepare them for a return to duty with new skills or a successful transition to civilian life.

Your participation provides structured and supportive pathways for your RSMs to gain valuable work experience and prepare for their future. The E2I program ensures that RSMs are either developing new skills to bring back to your unit or are prepared for a smooth and successful transition to civilian life, reflecting positively on your command.
