2014 US RAND RR750 Enhancing performance under stress - stress innocuation training in battlefield airmen
Army Special Forces The Army has developed an integrated framework for developing Special Forces performance under stress. Key features of this framework include the use of developmental feedback, training support from a center staffed with performance enhancement experts, and the use of structured simulations to evaluate how trainees respond to stress. Interviews with Army psychologists suggested that their integrated approach is successful in ensuring high levels of performance under stress. However, psychologists raised concerns that Special Forces personnel were less well prepared to handle more chronic stressors related to family life and the high operations tempo.
