This article gives a brief insight into the types of problems encountered by, and the well-being and health of, Swedish veterans who have deployed abroad since 1990 and onwards. More specifically, it gives an overview of work-related stressors and health outcomes among Swedish deployed military veterans related to (a) trauma exposure, PTSD, and moral distress/moral injury; (b) milder stress reactions/symptoms and everyday hassles and uplifts; and (c) social outcomes in terms of deployment implications on family and close relationships
