Section 1: Deployment Cycle & Stages of Separation
(Questions 1–10)
1. The 'honeymoon' phase of homecoming is most accurately
described as:
A) A sustained period of family harmony lasting 3-6 months
B) A brief, often idealized period of relief and excitement that typically gives
way to renegotiation of roles and routines
C) A clinical indicator of pathological avoidance
D) A phase that occurs only for first-time deployments
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Homecoming research consistently identifies an initial euphoric
'honeymoon' period that is time-limited and followed by a 'renegotiation' or
'readjustment' phase as roles, routines, and expectations are reworked. It is
a normative, not pathological, phenomenon and is not limited to first
deployments .
