In times of conflict and peace, the United States military faces intense scrutiny across a variety of academic disciplines; this includes sociological insights into the dynamics of the “military family” unit. In families with only one spouse serving in the military, the non-military spouse greatly mediates the emotional responses of family members to the unique stressors of the demands of the military lifestyle (Brickell et al., 2020; Jensen et al., 1989; Manguno-Mire et al., 2007; Sherman et al.). Yet the question remains, where do spouses of US service members find a social support network, especially in the most isolating circumstances: living on an overseas military base? Throughout the following text, I utilize the Social Identity Model of Identity Change to analyze the responses of 6 in-depth interviews and 8 supplementary survey responses. Ultimately, I argue that spouses of US service members lose integral parts of their identities in relocating to an international military base; they must then negotiate a space of belonging by fostering new identities, altering existing identities, and/or drawing upon less prominent identities. Understanding the experiences of military spouses living overseas may contribute to the development of new support systems employed by the US Department of Defense and employers with international employees that better meet the needs of families required to relocate abroad; additionally, the findings of this paper expand upon sociological theories of identity formation, loss, and re-establishment in a global context.
