The Status of Forces Reserve Survey
(SOFS-R) is a DoD-wide survey of Reserve and National Guard used in
evaluating existing policies and programs, establishing baseline
measures before implementing new policies and programs, and
monitoring the progress of policies/programs that make a difference
in the lives of Reserve component members and their families. The
survey assesses topics such as financial well-being, reintegration
programs following activation/deployment, outreach to civilian
employers, employer support, family support programs, and benefits
(i.e., education, commissary/exchange, health care), and suicide
awareness.
