Fatigue in Sustained Tactical Operations

Abstract

Concepts for future U.S. tactical operations envision man's capabilities as encompassing rapid acclimation, fatigue reduction, changed wake-sleep cycles, and changes to the circadian cycle under sustained and continuous operational requirements. U.S. forces must be able to deal with an enemy who may have these capabilities. The study focuses on concepts for the reduction of fatigue in its various stages in sustained tactical operations, techniques of leadership, and on measures to prevent fatigue.
