Military service involves exposure to multiple sources of chronic,
acute, and potentially traumatic stress, especially during
deployment and combat. Notoriously variable, the effects of stress
can be subtle to severe, immediate or delayed, impairing individual
and group readiness, operational performance,
and-ultimately-survival. A comprehensive compilation on the state
of the science, Biobehavioral Resilience to Stress identifies key
factors and characteristics that are essential to a scientifically
useful and behaviorally predictive understanding of resilience to
stress.
Contributions from Uniquely Qualified Military and Civilian
Experts
Initiated by the Military Operational Medicine Research
Directorate of the US Army Medical Research and Material Command
(USAMRMC), this seminal volume integrates recent research and
experience from military and civilian experts in behavioral and
social sciences, human performance, and physiology. Each chapter is
grounded in vigorous research with emphasis on relevance to a
variety of real-world operations and settings, including extreme
environments encountered in modern war.
Logical Progression, Cross-Disciplinary Appeal
Organized into four sections, the text begins with a discussion
of the relevant aspects of stress in the context of military life
to offer civilian readers a window into contemporary military
priorities. Later chapters consider biological, physiological, and
genetic factors, psychosocial aspects of resilience, and "community
capacity" variables that influence psychological responses to
stressful events. This multidisciplinary effort concludes with an
overview of emergent themes and related issues to advance the
scienceof resilience toward predictive research, theory, and
application for all those-military and civilian-who serve in the
national defense.
