This study examined the association between perceived inadequate military transition support and institutional betrayal during the transition of U.S. military veterans into civilian life. A cross-sectional, quantitative design was used to survey 269 veterans, utilizing the Institutional Betrayal Questionnaire 2 – Military Version (IBQ.2-M). Veterans who reported feeling inadequately prepared for the transition out of military service were significantly more likely to report high levels of institutional betrayal, as measured by affirmative responses to core IBQ items.
