Recent studies commissioned by the Office of the Military Advocate indicate that Missouri is near the "middle of the pack" when it comes to creating programs and advantages for Service members and families, and for Veterans.

These programs--together with Missouri's location, history, amenities, etc.--seem to have a big impact on the satisfaction Service members and their families express when asked about their impressions of the location where they are serving. This level of satisfaction also impacts where Service members and their families want to live after they separate from military service. The same things can be said for existing Veterans.

Related to this, what are the Strengths and Weaknesses of current efforts, Opportunities for improvement, and Threats that may keep us from realizing this outcome?
