Implement Measure to Reduce Combat Stress
Conditions: You are a leader of a group of Soldiers preparing to enter or already in a combat situation.
Standards: Recognize stress-related behaviors and implement appropriate leader actions that offset and control combat and operational stress reaction risk factors.
Performance Steps
Recognize stress-related behaviors.
a. Positive combat stress behaviors. Positive combat stress behaviors include the heightened alertness, strength, endurance, and tolerance to discomfort which the fight or flight stress response and the stage of resistance can produce when properly in tune.
b. Misconduct stress behaviors. These range from minor breaches of unit orders or regulations to serious violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and perhaps the Law of Land Warfare.
c. Combat and operational stress reaction (COSR) (previously called battle fatigue). Some COSR behaviors may accompany excellent combat performance and are often found in heroes. More serious behaviors are warning signs and deserve immediate attention by the leader, medic, or buddy to prevent potential harm to the Soldier, other, or the mission.
d. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, and terrorist incidents. Some people have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. People who suffer from PTSD often relive the experience through nightmares and flashbacks, have difficulty sleeping, and feel detached or estranged. These symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly impair the Soldier's daily life.
