Military cognitive performance is challenged in extreme environments. Research uses simulations to study fatigue and stress, developing countermeasures for improved decision-making and team cognition in hazardous operations.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive science and military psychology.
  • Human performance in extreme operational environments.

Background:

  • Military operations demand high-level cognition from individuals and teams.
  • Extreme environments significantly challenge and compromise cognitive processes.
  • Simulations and analogue paradigms are crucial for studying military-relevant cognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore cognitive performance under extreme military operational stress.
  • To review current research on cognitive decrements and countermeasures.
  • To highlight the importance of individual and team cognition in hazardous settings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing surrogate environments to simulate operational conditions.
  • Investigating sleep-related fatigue and its impact on cognition.

  • Analyzing combat-like stress effects on special operations personnel.
  • Examining psychiatric casualties in recent combat operations.

    • Main Results:

    • Sleep-related fatigue causes cognitive decrements, but countermeasures show promise.
    • Combat-like stress impacts cognitive performance and mood.
    • Psychiatric casualties are a significant reason for medical evacuations.
    • Simulations enable mapping of military processes to laboratory paradigms.

    Conclusions:

    • Future research should focus on predicting cognitive states and developing robust metrics.
    • Feedback systems for operators and decision-makers are essential.
    • Intra- and inter-team cognition require further investigation for risk mitigation aids.
