Abstract
This article examines the relative contribution of work stressors, fam ily and community resources, and Army support resources to the family adaptation of a sample of 238 single parents serving on active duty in the US. Army. The results indicate that the adaptation of single-pare nt families to Army demands is influenced more strongly by the availab ility of family, community, and Army resources than by the presence of work stressors. Recommendations are offered for policy and practice.
