Résumé : | This work, the first volume of a set of four books, addresses the need to understand the determinants of how military personnel think, react, and behave on military operations. Several of the chapters in this volume also have implications for the well-being of military personnel-such as the consequences of killing, how stress affects decision making, and how sleep loss affects operational effectiveness. Newly emerging issues in the armed forces are also discussed, included the role of terrorism, psychological operations, and advances in optimizing cognition on the battlefield. The impact of moral, the small military unit, and individual personality also provide insight into what influences the well-being and performance of military personnel. |
