Demobilizing members of the Guard and Reserve are encouraged to review the information at the Department of Defense Voluntary Education Program website, http://www.voled.doded.mil.   It offers a wide variety of educational information of interest and use. The website was originally established to provide support for military education center staffs worldwide. As the website developed, it took on the mission of providing direct support to active and reserve components’ service members and their families. This support includes information on all programs provided by the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support (DANTES) including the Distance Learning Program, Examination Program, Certification Program, Counselor Support Program, Troops to Teachers, and a wide variety of educational catalogs and directories. 

Links are provided to each of the services’ education programs and to a wide variety of education-related resources. There is also a Directory of Education Centers on the website, which contains information on all of the services’ education centers worldwide, to include addresses, phone numbers and E-mail addresses. 

The primary goal of the website is to provide on-site, or through links, all information for members of the Guard and Reserves to select, plan and complete their program of study, either while on active duty or upon release from active duty.
