MCTO provides policy and program oversight for the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program (YRRP).

TVPO's mission is to help foster a military culture that returns to America a career-ready veteran which strengthens the all-volunteer force. Its strategic goals are to: revitalize TAP to meet the needs of the nation, strengthen partner collaboration to improve service member career readiness, and institutionalize transition preparation into the military culture.

MCTO’s mission is to continually improve the delivery of resources, information, and assistance provided through the programs, promoting their effective and efficient support of transitioning Service members and members of the National Guard and Reserve, their families, and communities worldwide.

TVPO’s vision is to change Department culture from end-of-service commitment transition planning to a Military Life Cycle (MLC) approach, emphasizing career readiness planning at every step of a service member’s career.  In doing so, we ensure mission readiness is maintained, while also sustaining the All-Volunteer Force for both the Active and Reserve Component, as well as strengthening the Nation’s competitiveness in the global economy.

The office ensures transitioning Service members are able to successfully return to their civilian life while also addressing the challenges National Guard and Reserve Service members and their families face as they prepare for and return from deployment or mobilization.
