Commanders: TAP Starts With You
The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) gives Soldiers a clear roadmap from 18 months out through separation, ensuring they’re fully prepared for their next chapter.
TAP covers:
• Individualized Initial Counseling
• Pre-Separation Counseling
• My Transition & MOS Crosswalk
• Financial Planning
• DOL Employment Fundamentals
• VA Benefits & Services
• Career Tracks
• Career Skills Program eligibility
• Capstone (required last)
Key Points:
• IIC must be completed NLT 365 days prior to separation
• Rapid transitions begin TAP immediately
• MEB Soldiers start TAP early
• Retirees can begin at 24 months out
Leadership engagement ensures Soldiers don’t rush through transition. When Commanders prioritize TAP, Soldiers gain stability, confidence, and access to the resources they deserve.
TAP is here. TAP is ready. Let’s set Soldiers up for success.
