Effective Recovery of Combat and Operational Stress during Post-Deployment

Abstract

Military forces spend years of training and preparation for combat situations and conduct extra training for the deployment customized to the type of mission. The Marine Corps conducts programs such as Combat and Operational Stress Control (COSC) and Operational Stress Control and Readiness (OSCAR). Most military members cope with combat and operational stress during deployments and a certain amount will not be able to relieve stress in time and mental injuries and moral injuries may occur. Unit cohesion is an important factor for resiliency. The amount of time and effort dedicated to post deployment unit training should be longer for the Marines to enhance the likelyhood and speed of recovery.
